Add a rare and striking tree to your landscape with this set of 2 Dawn Redwood trees (Metasequoia glyptostroboides), a fast-growing deciduous conifer known for its soft, feathery foliage and towering presence. These live trees arrive approximately 2 feet tall and are ready to plant.

Often called a “living fossil,” the Dawn Redwood offers bright green foliage in spring and summer that turns a beautiful golden-brown in fall before shedding—making it one of the few deciduous conifers. Its elegant, upright form makes it perfect as a specimen tree or focal point in larger landscapes.

This tree thrives in moist conditions and even tolerates occasional flooding, making it a versatile and resilient choice for many planting environments.

Please note: Ships bare root with roots wrapped to maintain moisture during transit.
