I have been thinking of buying a dawn redwood tree but I have never had one so I would like some info about this kind of tree. I have noticed most of them are formal upright but I like the unusual type can the redwood be trained in other styles easily? I lost my old ficus I had for several years and now have a mica pot that needs a tree in it. I prefer the outdoor type of bonsai because my better half does not like plants in the house.
