Metasequoia glyptostroboides (Dawn Redwood)

Metasequoia glyptostroboides — Dawn Redwood

A stately, fast-growing conifer with a timeless, ancient presence. Dawn Redwood forms a strong, upright pyramidal shape, making it ideal as a striking specimen tree or planted in groups for large-scale windbreaks. Its soft, feathery foliage emerges medium green, turning glowing shades of orange to red-brown in fall before dropping—one of the few deciduous conifers with true seasonal color.
