Why Grow a Dawn Redwood Tree?

• Ancient Beauty: The dawn redwood is one of the most iconic "living fossils," symbolizing strength, resilience, and the endurance of nature.

Detailed Planting Instructions:

1. Preparation: Soak seeds in clean, room-temperature water for 24 hours to soften their seed coat and prepare for germination.
2. Planting: Use a peat pot filled with high-quality potting soil. Plant 20 seeds at a depth of 1/8 inch. Keep the soil moist but not compacted, as redwood seeds require light to germinate.
3. Humidity Control: Place the pot in a clear plastic bag sealed with a rubber band to create a mini-greenhouse effect.
4. Germination: Store in a cool area with indirect light and keep the soil moist but not soaked. Germination occurs within 30-40 days.
5. Transplanting: When seedlings reach 3-4 inches in height, transfer the entire peat pot to a larger container or plant directly in the ground in a sunny, well-drained location.

Ideal Growing Conditions:

• Light: Dawn redwoods thrive in full sun.
• Soil: Prefers well-draining soil rich in organic matter.
• Water: Consistent watering is essential during the first year; mature trees become more drought-tolerant.
