Other: The Dawn Redwood is a conifer native to Manchuria, China, and is one of only three types of redwood trees. These ancient trees have also been found as fossils in the badlands of North Dakota. Believed to be extinct until its rediscovery in 1944, it is currently considered a critically endangered species. These trees are very hardy, tolerating temperatures ranging from -30 F to 100 F, and grow quickly at a rate of 3-5 feet per year. While they prefer full sun, they can also thrive in partial shade. The trees feature beautiful fern-like foliage and their trunks can exceed 8 feet in diameter. They produce pinecones and are excellent for bonsai.
