Looking for a tall tree for slender spaces? Urban Spire Dawn Redwood, Metasequoia,  is the tree for you. It’s the perfect urban street tree and also the perfect plant to add height to smaller, urban gardens.

Upright and quick-growing, it is a true spire and will fit well into smaller spaces. It makes the perfect tree for city street tree plantings, small home gardens, and boulevards.

Urban Spire will also serve as an exclamation point in the back of any garden border or open garden space. Since dawn redwoods are so tolerant of extreme soils, we think this new selection will help designers and homeowners have a fantastic new tree for properties with poorly drained, new construction soil, or spots where the soil can be wet in the spring and then extremely dry in the summer. This is one versatile tree.

Share in an exciting piece of history with the Dawn Redwood, Metasequoia glyptostroboides. Until a patch was found in the 1950’s it was thought this tree was extinct, only found in fossil records dating back to the Mesozoic Period from over 150 million years ago.

Plant Dawn Redwood in sun to part sun locations. Tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions including consistently wet or boggy. When planting amend the soil with compost and add a starter fertilizer like Biotone Starter Plus. Keep well watered, especially through drought.
