Comments: Dawn Redwood was known from fossils before living plants were discovered in China. Although it
looks like an evergreen, the needles are deciduous - they change
color and fall in autumn. The tree grows rapidly and presents
beautiful fall color changes, and showy winter bark. The preferred soil is moist and moderately fertile. Check out more trees from the
