dawn redwood


species: Metasequoia glyptostroboides
common name: dawn redwood
family: Cupressaceae
where & when encountered: Lattingtown, NY - 2016

California has the redwoods and Sequoias, but the Bailey Arboretum in Lattingtown, NY has the dawn redwoods - their rare Chinese cousin. Not only that, they have the champion - the largest known specimen, by girth, in the world.
