Description

‘Soul Fire’ is a new and extraordinary golden-leaved Dawn Redwood that will light up the landscape with glowing foliage color spring, summer and fall. Forming an upright pyramid 15 to 18 feet tall and 10 to 15 feet wide makes it a fine focal point specimen for smaller landscape spaces, or as an accent tree in home foundation plantings and around patios and other outdoor sitting and living spaces. It features beauful, very soft and feathery fern-like foliage that emerges a two-tone bright lime-green flushed with rosy orange in spring. As the temperatures rise in late spring the foliage transitions to a brilliant chartreuse-yellow intensifying in color as the season progresses, with no fioliage burn at all. Cooler temperatures in fall bring wonderful bright orange shades. The trunk broadens at the base and develops attractive fissured bark with age. An acceptionally easy-to-grow and adaptable tree that will thrive in full sun or part shade and wet or dry soil when established, Soul Fire is sure to bring soul and fire to any garden in USDA Zones 4a to 9b.

Interesting History

Until 1941, when it was first discovered growing in the wild near the town of Modaoqi, China by Chinese forester, T. Kan, Metasequoia glyptostroboides (Dawn Redwood) was thought to have been extinct, with only fossils to show it once existed. Seeds collected from the original site were made available to the Missouri Botanical Garden in 1947. Seedlings grown therefrom were planted in front of the Lehmann Building at MBG in 1952. Since then, new offspring such as ‘Soul Fire’ have made their appearance into the Dawn Redwood family.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 15 to 18 feet tall and 10 to 15 feet wide, the Soul Fire Dawn Redwood tree is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or in single or staggered rows to delineate a property line or line a driveway or street. An excellent accent tree in home foundation plantings and around patios, decks and other outdoor living spaces. Since it thrives in a consistently moist to wet soil, it is a beautiful asset in those areas of the landscape where the soil doesn’t dry out, however is also very drought tolerant when established. A fine addition to conifer gardens, rain gardens, gold or yellow gardens, bog or wetland gardens, bird gardens and the Xeriscape (low water needs when established).

Suggested Spacing: 10 to 12 feet apart for screen plantings; 20 feet or more apart for space between trees

Growing Preferences

The Soul Fire Golden Dawn Redwood is very easy to grow in a consistently moist, humusy soil and full sun to part shade. We suggest at least 5 hours of direct sunlight per day for best and brightest foliage color. Will thrive in wet soils and even dry ones when established. During extended periods of summer drought it might appreciated an occasional deep soaking. Maintenance is minimal to none…just plant and watch it grow. Pruning isn’t necessary, however selective pruning for shaping purposes or to remove lower branches is fine. Avoid pruning in the spring when the tree is emerging from dormancy. Prune in late winter.

Plant Long & Prosper!
