I received my Dawn Redwood as a small bare root plant about 3 years ago.Īlthough like other Florida gardeners, it has been late to leaf out (generally in May), it has so far not experienced die-back or summer leaf scorch since tat time.

METASEQUOIA GOLD RUSH FULL
It has grown to a foot in diameter at the base and pretty tall (30 feet?) I supplement the soil with acid-loving plant fertilizer.īut the sun is important, it will grow with less than full sun however it will be lopsided because it will grow less on the shady side than the sunny side. Planted one 10 years ago at the bottom of the drive, next to a rain garden, to catch the runoff.

I imagine the trees will do well near my pond and in very thick red clay soil of North Texas. These have proven to be quite hardy and fast growing up to this point. Then deer attacked one tree during rutting season before I caged them and I admit it stunted the tree, albeit it looks quite healthy even today. I watered them regularly seeing how it was so dry and even under adverse conditions the trees added almost 3 foot of growth in less than 1 year. I planted some saplings approximately 12" tall in the spring of 2018 near my pond during a really dry year here in North Texas.

Since 2000 it has reproduced numerous progeny throughout the neighboring forest. But it was not phased at all, and has healed over since and never slowed its growth. The big DR that I am standing beside the trunk, was struck by lightning around ten years ago, leaving a scar almost to the ground. I posted some pics of some of my favorite local middle TN DR's. If you push for extreme buttress and distorted base with dominant low limbs, then height growth may be less than I stated in my table. Then commensurately lowering for future years. My 50 years of records and studies reveal that in TN, on an average to good site, you should expect these growth rates : Likes moist well drained soil just like most trees. If growing an individual specimen tree, never trim branches above thigh high. Give full sun and perimeter room to grow. I have five here at my estate Arboretum (Two are the Goldrush / Ogon types. My biggest DR now approaches 90 feet high and 3 feet dbh. Since then I have studied and planted many in Tennessee. Even in 1967 this tree was over 60' even though it hadn't been brought to USA but a couple decades.
Seeds given to Vanderbilt University in Nashville, one of which was planted near my home, in the late 1940’s. In 1967 I regularly watched and studied one of the first Dawn Redwoods planted in the U S A. Studying and growing the species since 1967.
