This is my Nothofagus antarctica (Southern Beech) turning color in late September (!) (and that during a very warm dry September for the Pacific NW). Will have some structural styling this winter.
It's getting chilly and Fall colors are beginning to pop!

One last shot of my Chinese elm, in full color to match the pot.

When I was young we had a calf get into some nightshade. It didn't kill her but she went blind for awhile. Eventually she was Ok.

I planted this forest on a slab this year, about 8 years from seeds.

I'm so new at this and my husband bought this for me for my birthday! I have two pots one with a "grove" of six about 3 years old and one large bonsai about 15 yrs old. They didn't water them well when they came in, smh! and the big one lost all of its leaves but started budding out again. I'm worried this will cause problems since it was in September and so near fall going into it's dormant period. I was worried about the grove set until I saw yours! LOL mine look exactly like that! Thank goodness. I have stressed over these babies, talking to them and everything LOL Now I just have to figure out where to keep them for their dormancy. Do I keep them inside with my orchid in a sunny window or do I put them in the dark garage or keep them outside on the patio in the corner? I'm lost! Any advice I can get will help. I have read both keep them inside and outside. I live in Central Alabama. Doesn't get below freezing too often but has once already this year. I have them on a cart which I have been taking in at night, putting them back out in the morning to water.

Dawn redwood should be perfectly safe outside for the winter in Alabama. The corner of your patio, protected from wind, should be fine. Preferably on the ground.

100% outside year round… Easy Peezy
I think dawn redwood are hardy to USDA zone four… That’s -30°F. You’re probably zone eight with lows typically in the teens. Your trees will have no problem at all handling winter in your location. In fact, I’ll bet they have a harder time during the summer, meaning, they will need lots of water, and maybe even some shade during the hottest weather. They grow very well in colder climates for what it’s worth. Good luck with them.

I keep it outside on the ground, mulched in & out of the wind. @Dav4 is correct DRW is hardy in zones 4-8.

We've got a lot of beautiful fall colors in the neighborhood.
Here is a tiny volunteer Sweet Gum.
And some more I planted last year (2021).
And finally, the mother tree!

Arakawa showing some color.
Thank you all so much! I may have already killed the grove pulling it inside. there are a few green leaves but most are brown and dried off. But that is what happened with the single older one and it started budding out again. LOL it is still budding. I'll try to post some pics later. But I will move them back outside. There was just so much conflicting advice. Some saying that they don't do well under 40f. I will come here for my advice from now on!! LOL
Yes. Mine sit out in Ohio winters covered in snow.
