The Dawn Redwood Makes a Great Unique Gift

Filed Under (Entertainment) by admin on 05-10-2009

One of the more unique bonsai, the Dawn Redwood is a deciduous conifer bonsai. This makes it rather different than many other outdoor bonsai. It also makes it a great gift for bonsai collectors since many do not have a bonsai that looks like this. This outdoor bonsai changes color during the fall just like larger deciduous trees. While it is an outdoor bonsai, it does need protection during the harsh, cold winter months. However, during the warmer months, you should keep the Dawn Redwood out of direct sunlight since it doesn’t need that much light. Other than these two issues, the Dawn Redwood is a fairly hardy bonsai and is easy to grow. It makes a good bonsai for both those who are new to growing bonsai and those who have dozens of trees.

 

There are many interesting facts regarding bonsai. They typically have small root systems. This means that they need water quite frequently. They are usually grown in small, sheltered areas. This both protects the bonsai from the elements and provides a quiet place for viewing and relaxing. Since they’re small plants, bonsai are a good choice for small homes and flats, although the Dawn Redwood bonsai and other outdoor bonsai fair better outside.
