About this Redwood Group Bonsai, Three Tree Forest, 8 Years Old (Metasequoia glyptostroboides)
Three dawn redwoods, each between 5 and 8 years old and 15 to 16 inches high, are planted together here as a forest group. Set at differing thicknesses, trunks of this kind read as a stand rather than as three separate trees, which suits a species that grew in great forests before it disappeared from the record. Metasequoia glyptostroboides was believed extinct until living examples turned up in Manchuria, China, during the 1940s; it is a true redwood. Grow the composition outdoors, where the fine summer foliage and the bare winter trunks each have their season.
Dawn Redwood bonsai care
This is a living Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:
- Indoor / outdoor
- Outdoor only: Yorkshire Bonsai calls a permanent place in a heated home unsuitable; Mistral overwinters it outdoors with frost protection; Bonsaiwonder keeps it outdoors, using an unheated greenhouse or foil tent below 32°F (0°C)
- Light
- Full sun; bonsai growers screen it from the strongest summer heat, Yorkshire Bonsai in the afternoon
- Water
- Keep the soil evenly moist through the growing season; how often differs by source; never let it stay soggy
- USDA zones
- 4 to 8 in the ground; UF/IFAS gives 5A to 8B, and the Gymnosperm Database and Oklahoma State give zone 5 as the limit; no source gives a zone for a pot
- Main risks
- Main risks, not ranked by any source: a rootball that dries out; soggy soil and mold; hard frost on an unprotected pot
Soil, repotting, pruning, seasonal work and the full pest and disease list are in our free Dawn Redwood bonsai care guide.
