Premium Dawn Redwood Bonsai Tree (Metasequoia glyptostroboides)
Elegant, graceful and full of character, this Premium Dawn Redwood bonsai is a wonderful example of one of the world’s most fascinating deciduous trees. Carefully trained over many years, it offers beautiful movement, fine foliage and striking seasonal colour, making it an exceptional addition to any bonsai collection.
The tree shown is the exact tree you will receive. Each Premium bonsai is individually photographed, allowing you to choose the specimen that appeals to you most.
The tall trunk flows effortlessly through a series of gentle curves before supporting a canopy of soft, feathery foliage. Its naturally flaky bark gives the tree a mature appearance, while the light green needles create an airy, delicate look throughout spring and summer.
This Dawn Redwood is presented in a classic leaden blue rectangular bonsai pot, chosen to complement the elegant trunk and fresh foliage without distracting from the tree itself. Together they create a refined display that looks equally at home on a patio, balcony or in the garden.
As the seasons change, so does this remarkable bonsai. In autumn, the foliage develops rich bronze tones before falling for winter, revealing the graceful branch structure and beautifully textured trunk. Every season offers something new to appreciate, making the Dawn Redwood bonsai a tree you’ll enjoy all year round.

Dawn Redwood Bonsai Care Guide
The Dawn Redwood bonsai is an easy-to-grow outdoor species that thrives with simple, regular care.
Position
Keep your bonsai outdoors throughout the year in full sun or partial shade. As a hardy deciduous tree, it benefits from experiencing the natural seasons.
Watering
Water thoroughly whenever the surface of the compost begins to dry. Dawn Redwoods enjoy moist soil, so avoid letting the compost dry out completely.
Feeding
Apply our Bonsai Direct liquid fertiliser every week during spring and summer to encourage healthy growth. Stop feeding while the tree is dormant in winter.
Pruning
Trim new shoots during the growing season to maintain the tree’s shape and encourage compact growth. Carry out heavier pruning during winter after the leaves have fallen.
Repotting
Repot every two to four years in early spring using fresh bonsai compost to keep the root system healthy and vigorous.
