The Dawn Redwood tree is a deciduous native of China; until living specimens were found there in 1941, it was thought extinct and only known from fossil records. It is suitable as a beginner bonsai, though, so don't be put off by its long backstory. By growing this plant, you'll be growing a little piece of prehistory! In nature, it grows very upright and tall, and as a bonsai it is usually kept in the same upright growth shape. Relatively large for bonsai trees, you will have to keep an eye on the strong growth of this species. This hardy species is best grown outdoors, but be careful of harsh outdoor frosts which can damage roots in shallow pots. If you need to grow it indoors, make sure it has a sunny spot and gets some decrease in temperature over winter - an unheated conservatory would be a perfect spot.

Scientific Name
Metasequoia glyptostroboides (like Sequoia's tree with carved cones)

Synonyms: Metasequoia neopangaea, Metasequoia honshuenensis

This plant had been identified from fossilised remains and was thought to be extinct until live specimens were identified in China in 1941.

Common Name
Dawn Redwood Bonsai, Dawn Redwood, Water Fir, Water Larch, Metasequoia, Living Fossil

Origin
This plant is native to Southeast and South-Central China

Light
Your Dawn Redwood will grow best in a sunny spot, but should be shaded from the harshest summer sun to prevent its leaves being scorched.

Water
Keep the soil moist, especially in summer while the tree is actively growing. You'll need to reduce this over winter, and make sure that the soil is never soggy, as trees in puddles can get rotten roots. In summer, it can be easy to underwater this thirsty plant; don't worry too much if the leaves become crispy, though, as it should grow new branches quickly enough to replace them.

Humidity
This tree will benefit from above-average humidity to help keep its soil moist and its leaves happy.

Soil
Use a well-draining but moisture retentive soil - Ficus soil is usually good for bonsais - to ensure your bonsai gets the right amount of water. Repot every two years. The roots will grow quickly and start to push the plant out of the pot; you will need to prune the roots each time to keep it bonsai-sized.

Feeding
Fertilise in spring and summer; you can use a high-nitrogen fertiliser in spring, but feed mor cautiously in summer so you don't get too much growth. No feeding is necessary in autumn and winter.

Pruning
Pinch back new growth in spring and summer to maintain shape and encourage ramification. Structural pruning should be done in late winter or early spring before buds break. Avoid heavy pruning once in active growth.

Wiring
Can be wired during dormancy (late winter) while branches are flexible. Check regularly to avoid wire cutting into the bark – Metasequoia grow quickly.

Temperature
This bonsai species is hardy, and is best grown outdoors; it can stand temperatures down to -15°C, but it should be protected from frost which can damage it. Protection in a greenhouse or unheated conservatory should work well over winter.

Pet-safe
Yes, your bonsai is non-toxic to pets, though eating large amounts will not be great for pets' tummies or your plant.

Sprouts Top Tips
Prune the shoot tips 2-3 times a year to keep the branches compact.
Your Dawn Redwood will benefit from seasonal weather and temperature changes so you can either grow it outdoors in a sheltered spot, or indoors where it gets plenty of sun in summer and some cold in winter.
Dropping of leaves in autumn is completely normal; this conifer is deciduous and will hibernate with no leaves over winter before sprouting fresh in spring.

Best Sleep Shorts EVER ♥️
Color: Multicolor a (5-pack), Size: Medium
Love, love, LOVE these bamboo BoyShorts! I wear them for sleeping because they’re incredibly light, soft and comfortable while still having a great liner. They fit to my body while not feeling tight, snug or restrictive. Soooo comfortable. I’m 5’8” 145 lbs and went with Medium. ♥️

Amazing fit!!!
Color: Multicolor a (5-pack), Size: Large
These are quite literally the best underwear I have ever worn. I am going to replace all of my underwear with just these. I got the shorter boy shorts cut and they are amazing. These let my body be the shape that my body is, no squeezing or tight waist band. I feel so normal and comfortable in them, they’re breathable and soft!! I absolutely love them after so much trial and error with underwear I finally found the ones!

Highly recommend during pregnancy and to wear around the house!
Color: Multicolor a (5-pack), Size: X-Large
Love!! I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant. I’m 5’6” and pre pregnancy weight I would fluctuate between 132-140 lbs easily. I now weigh 162 lbs and my hip is now measuring 40 inches. I bought the XL in the dark grey/black so that it wouldn’t be tight at all around my belly and I absolutely love them! Stretchy, comfortable, breathable. They aren’t loose around my thighs and I can tell they are gonna be nice to wear during post partum. I wear them around the house with an open robe and a bralette for the ultimate comfort. If I were to buy them before pregnancy, I’m positive that a large would have fit beautifully, even though the small/medium measurements on the size chart would have been my pre pregnancy weight, I know they would have been too tight. I detest tight underwear! Highly recommend!

Not what I’d hoped
Color: Multicolor a (5-pack), Size: Small
The fabric is nice, soft without being overly bulky. The design was almost what I wanted. I’ve been trying to find underwear that won’t ride up and is comfortable to wear under leggings. The fabric has a LOT of stretch around the legs and deforms quickly. Then it rides up and wrinkles. Smaller leg openings might make the difference.
