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
- Strictly outdoor: needs full seasons and winter dormancy
- Light
- Full sun for vigorous, healthy growth; light afternoon shade only in extreme heat
- Water
- Strongly water-loving: tolerates wet feet far better than most conifers; never let it dry out
- USDA zones
- 4a to 8b (some cultivars to zone 9)
- #1 cause of death
- Letting the rootball dry out (especially in summer); root rot is possible but far less likely than in other conifers
Soil, repotting, pruning, seasonal work and the full pest and disease list are in our free Dawn Redwood bonsai care guide.
