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 |

I have a twelve foot high specimen in my back yard, not a hint of a curve to it. Another one I planted as a 1 foot seedling on a nearby campus is now over twenty feet tall and straight as the proverbial arrow. Your DR was warped by some means, either natural or artificial. You'd be better off to start with a straight one, if that's what you want. J. Del Col |
