Metasequoia Glyptostroboides Dawn Redwood
As you might expect from a tree with a very large name, it grows quickly to a large height of over 35m and can go on to over 50 in the right conditions.
The Dawn Redwood Tree Metasequoia Glyptostroboides Dawn Redwood is a deciduous Redwood with an attractive conical shape and autumnal orange colour. The spongy deep brown/red bark is an unusual feature almost as if Mother Nature has provided padding for a mammal soft play area. This would compliment the soft leathery foliage
Suitable for planting in urban areas due to pollution tolerance and a good choice as it is seen as an endangered plant in the wild making it popular in parks and gardens Worldwide.
Planting Metasequoia Glyptostroboides Dawn Redwood
Grows well on moist soils, particularly during the juvenile period i.e. first 10 years but as a large tree make sure to give it plenty of space. In the wild, Metasequoia glyptostroboides has been found thriving in flood plains and standing water. Does not tolerate drought very well until well established nor salt used for de-icing.
Considered frost tolerant down to minus 32 degrees centigrade.
Message card included at no additional cost if required. Just add the information required on the card at checkout.
What Our Customers Are Saying About Our Dawn Redwood Trees
No reviews available currently because this is a new addition to the website.
Delivery
Due to courier unpredictability, we advise having your trees delivered AT LEAST 3 days before you actually need them.
Returning Cell Grown Trees
For Phytosanitary reasons, cell grown trees cannot be returned to the nursery.
Delaying Planting Cell Grown Trees
If you cannot plant straight away, take the trees out of the packaging and stand upright next to each other in a sheltered location outside. November to March, no need to water unless they start to dry out and these would be ok for up to 6 weeks. During Spring and Summer, you can do this for up to 3 weeks.
Site Conditions And Evergreen Tree List
Our tree chart details which site conditions suit which trees and also which are evergreen or semi-evergreen.
Feeding Or Fertilizing Hedges
This is a task that can easily be over done. Any nitrogen based fertilizer will do such as 20:20:10 but the longer lasting ones which take 18/24 months are better as they are regulated by the weather and moisture therefore release slowly.
Woodburning Chart
If you are one of those lucky people that lead an eco lifestyle (VERY jealous if you are) and want to buy trees to burn, then maybe our wood burning chart (excel spread sheet) will help you decide. Ash, Eucalyptus Gunnii and Willow are worth looking at for their growth rates and calorific values.
Planting Tool
If you are looking to plant lots of plug plant or cell grown trees (the 10-40cm-ish) size range then maybe you should consider our tree planting tool. Tree planting rates of over 700 per day achievable.
Adding A Bit Of Colour And Attract Wildlife
Honeysuckle (Lonicera periclymenum) is very attractive, fragrant and attracts more wildlife to your garden. A bit on the vigorous side but worth the effort. A great addition to your project.
Tree Spacing
Broadleaf wood planting would be around 3m between each tree. Christmas tree planting for a commercial crop is around 1m.
Factors Detrimental To Cell Grown Trees
Too much/little water, animal Urine, excessive wind exposure (will slow growth), salt spray, frost on new growth, herbicide drift and over application of fertilizer.
UK Grown Volume Trees
All our volume trees are UK grown and as far as we know because we have never caught one booking a holiday overseas.
