The dawn redwood bonsai tree is a popular deciduous bonsai variety and cultivated extensively for its strong growing, upright structure. The tree species was thought to be extinct until living specimens were discovered in China last century. Previously, the many million years old tree was only known about through fossil records.

Choose an outdoor location that is sunny but protected from strong wind and scorching sunlight in the hottest part of summer days. Protect from harsh frost in winter.
They must be watered generously as soon as the top inch of soil gets dry. Do not let the soil dry out fully and avoid constant wetness. See our watering guide.
Only feed periodically during the growing season (March-Oct).
Redwoods are a fast-growing species so they require frequent pinching back and canopy trimming, typically done 2-3 times a year, to keep them in check. Remove unwanted buds immediately.
Redwoods are typically trained in the straight up style so they don’t require much training while growing. However, if you do wire the branches, the best time to do this would be in autumn once the leaves have fallen off so that they can stay on until the growing season.
