Metasequoia glyptostroboides
Dawn Redwoods were once thought to be extinct until 1941 when it was discovered in a remote valley of a Chinese province. They now thrive all around the world. These trees don’t like to be planted close to other trees and their leaves change from green to an almost apricot color in the fall before dropping.
