  • -Metasequoia Glyptostroboides Seeds : The Dawn Redwood Tree was thought to be extinct and was only referenced in fossil form until the 1940's when a Dawn Redwood was found growing in a remote area of central China. This deciduous coniferous tree is related to the coastal redwoods of California.
    -Coir Seeding Pot: This biodegradable pot is made using the natural fibers extracted from the husk of coconuts. Coir has been in use since ancient times.
    -Growing Medium Soil-less growing medium looks like ordinary potting soil, but doesn't come with the problems associated with soil. Plants grown in soil-less growing medium are less likely to be bothered by pests, bacteria and fungi.
    -Terra Cotta Saucer: Keeps the table dry while germinating the tree.
    -Growing Instructions: Complete instructions and helpful tips for successfully growing a mighty Dawn Redwood tree. The Dawn Redwood kit is handmade in the USA.
    -Personalized Tag Designed to be attached to the tree as a lifelong reminder of the gift occasion.
