All trees lose their leaves eventually. Deciduous trees drop them all at once once a year.Evergreens carry leaves allt he year round and drop them through-out the year as they age. The Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) is a conifer that is deciduous.
I do not believe that Metasequoia glyptostroboides the dawn redwood is poisonous. I can find no reference anywhere to this . But it isn't something you should be eating anyway.
There does not seem to be any record of when or where the common name was arrived at but it would be a fair guess that the dawn part came from it being a fossil from the dawn of time, rediscovered in China.l

When you are referring to a species, you use what it called binomial nomenclature. This means that you use the name of the genus followed by the "specific epithet".It's the name of the genus that is always capitalized, so Homo sapiens (modern humans) or Metasequoia glyptostroboides(dawn redwood).It is also important to either use italics or to underline the full species name.There are tons of rules about how to properly name new species and subspecies etc., and things change all the time, but capitalization and italics are definitely what you need to know here.
