Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia)

The Metasequoia, or Dawn Redwood, is an ancient species that was thought to be extinct for some time. Like a bald cypress, this is a deciduous conifer that will drop its foliage in winter. This is a strong-growing species that really lends itself to forest plantings. Grown from seed at Kaede Bonsai-en, these trees are well established in 2 1/4" containers. *picture taken on October 31st, we had an early fall and removed all the spent foliage.
