Grow your own iconic Redwood bonsai trees with these Metasequoia Glyptostroboides seeds.
Instructions:
We recommend using the following to sow the seeds:
Dawn redwood seeds have low germination rates naturally, the best setup is a greenhouse with a heat mat or just in consistent room temperature without much temperature fluctuation, and away from direct sun.
Pre-soaking for 24 hours in water can help, as well as placing the seeds in a ziploc baggie with paper towels, vermiculite or perlite in a fridge for 2-3 weeks prior to planting can benefit the germination rates.
Once the seeds germinate, start removing the humidity dome, then make sure seedlings are getting a good amount of light, under grow lights or a bright windowsill.
(Find more info on germinating seeds by going to our seed guide)
These seeds are for the 2026 growing season.
