Drainage: Dawn Redwoods require well-draining soil. They are intolerant of waterlogged conditions.
pH Level: Prefer a slightly acidic to neutral pH (5.5 to 7.0).
Soil Composition: They thrive in moist, loamy soils rich in organic matter.
Watering
Newly Planted Trees: Regular watering is crucial for newly planted trees to establish a strong root system. Water deeply once or twice a week, depending on weather conditions.
Mature Trees: They prefer consistent moisture and should be watered deeply during prolonged dry periods, especially in summer.
Potted Trees: Ensure frequent watering as potting soil dries out faster. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.
Seasonal Care
Spring
Mulching: Apply organic mulch to conserve soil moisture and regulate temperature.
Fertilising: Use a balanced fertiliser to encourage new growth.
Summer
Watering: Maintain consistent soil moisture.
Pruning: Prune if necessary to shape or remove any dead branches.
Autumn
Watering: Reduce watering as the tree prepares for dormancy.
Mulching: Refresh the mulch layer for winter protection.
Winter
Protection: Young trees may need protection from severe frost. Mature trees are generally hardy.
Watering: Water sparingly, only if the soil is dry and frost-free.
