The Dawn Redwood Tree - Beyond Fast Grow
I am always asked by customers what is a nice fast growing tree.
Dawn Redwoods always come to mind. It s soft needles are child
friendly and give the branches a graceful calm look. Its red
trunk is pleasing in the winter. Looking alot like a bald
cypress but not requiring as much water, its finds many
applications in the urban landscape. This tree proves that
scientists don't know when a tree is extinct. Fossil records
showed that this tree was extinct for 35 million years, yet this
deciduous conifer fooled them all until 1945 when it was
rediscovered in a remote valley of Central China in 1945. Dawn
Redwood or The Dinosaur Tree, is offically called, "Metasequoia
glyptostroboides". The Dawn Redwood first came to America in
1945 in seeds and has shown to be viable in zones 6 to 8.
This
tree grows fast and can reach 75 to 100 feet by 25 feet in
diameter. It likes full sun to partial shade and is tolerant of
moist to dry soils with ph ranges of 3.7 to 7.0. Go ahead and
plant it in clay soils, loam or sand. Its bright green,
feathery, needle-like foliage will turn brown and will drop
quickly in the fall. Thus this plant will be suitable for a
great summer screen or a specimen plant. This plant is great for
a Hort 101 beginner. It is easy to grow, pest free, adaptable,
grows fast, and has soft bright green needles, and of course we
have hundreds of 3-4' plants ready for your landscape. You can
see more tree and shrub descriptions at my web site
