Once thought extinct and rediscovered in China, the dawn redwood is a living fossil. Closely related to the coast redwood ( S. sempervirens ) and giant sequoia ( S. giganteum ), it offers a similar stately appearance without the massive size. Its soft, feathery foliage turns a striking golden-bronze before dropping in fall, making it one of the few deciduous conifers. The tree’s symmetrical form and rapid growth, up to three feet per year, make it a stunning focal point. This species is excellent for wet sites, tolerating wet soils and even standing water, making it ideal for pond edges or low spots where other trees struggle.
