Soul Fire Dawn Redwood is a breakthrough golden selection that transforms the traditional green redwood into a beacon of color. In spring, soft, feathery needles emerge bright lime-green brushed with rosy-orange tones, creating a luminous two-toned effect. As the season progresses, the foliage intensifies into brilliant chartreuse-yellow that holds strong through summer heat. When autumn arrives, the canopy ignites into bold orange and bronze shades that rival some of the best fall trees in the landscape. It's color progression with real staying power.
This upright deciduous conifer forms a refined pyramidal silhouette. Its vertical structure makes it ideal as a focal point tree or accent within thoughtfully designed landscape beds. Unlike many golden selections that fade or scorch, Soul Fire Dawn Redwood maintains vibrant color without leaf burn. In winter, the soft needles drop to reveal attractive reddish-brown bark, adding textural interest during the dormant season. It's a true four-season performer.
Botanically known as Metasequoia glyptostroboides 'Soul Fire', this rare dawn redwood is adaptable and remarkably easy to grow. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and tolerates a wide range of soil conditions once established. Dawn redwoods are known for resilience in challenging environments, including sites with fluctuating moisture levels. If you're searching for a golden conifer with upright form, exceptional fall color, and standout landscape presence, Soul Fire Dawn Redwood brings both the soul and the fire.
