Metasequoia glyptostroboides SeedsMetasequoia glyptostroboides commonly known as Dawn Redwood is a fast-growing, critically endangered deciduous conifer and is the sole living species of the genus Metasequoia and one of three redwood species. It is native to the Sichuan-Hubei region of central southern China. Although it is the shortest of the redwood family, it grows to at least 61m in height. It was only discovered in 1943 and due to World War 2 was not studied further until 1946 and only finally described as a new living species, Metasequoia glyptostroboides, in 1948. Only one natural forest containing around 5400 trees is known to exist. Dawn redwood has proved an easy, fast growing tree in temperate regions, and is now widely planted as an ornamental tree. Planted specimens have already reached 2540m in height and 11.3m in diameter, despite being in cultivation for less than sixty years. It is tolerant of air pollution and very hardy, down to lows of -32C and is very tolerant of soggy, water-logged soils as in the wild it is adapted to growing in flood plains. In drier regions it must be grown adjacent to a body of water such as a pond or stream. On offer is a pack of 10 Seeds
