Dawn redwood is definitely a straight upright-growing tree. The curved
trunk is probably the reason yours was up for sale.
If it's not too thick, you may be able to straighten it. If not, be
creative!

Subject: [IBC] Curved Dawn Redwood


Hi,

Bought a 24 inch Dawn Redwood from a local arboretum that was left
over
from a bonsai show they had a few weeks ago. Nice specimen, however it is
curved in the top half, not upright as most I have seen. Is this normal or
was it possibly wired at one time to acheive this curvature? Can't find
any
info on when it is safe to wire Dawn Redwoods to straighten it. Can anyone
shed some light on this? Am new to bonsai and need some help.

Thanks

Greg
