- The Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) is a unique tree with an interesting story. It is considered a living fossil, and was thought to be extinct until it was discovered growing in China in the 1940s. This grove at the @morrisarboretum is spectacular! The trees were planting in 1953 and are already over 100ft tall. #dawnredwood #trees #tree #baldcypress #forest #urbanforestry #philly #philadelphia #metasequoia
Never seen a Dawn Redwood but I love the trunk shape. Being next to a Giant Sequoia for the first time changed my life. Just makes you realize how small we are amongst so many giants like that. Awe inspiring
I don’t believe that I have either ❤❤
There's one at my local park notated as a state "champion tree!"
Aye thanks for putting bald cypress in the end they are such beautiful trees 💚 glad to see them being appreciated and promoted
I’ve lived around giant coastal redwoods my entire life and know how they can survive fire, flood and drought. But it’s still so amazing to see it touches people in other parts of the country with their majesty. Hello from the avenue of the giants locale!
There are a few giant sequoia growing up in Northern lower peninsula of Michigan near Manistee, at lake bluff arboretum. Eight of them were planted in 1948 and three survived. The tallest one is a bit over 100 ft.
It’s needles are beautiful. I’m thrilled it survived!! I would gladly plant one if I had a safe space for it to grow and mature but sadly I don’t.
Thank you for sharing the info - I enjoyed it!
Hello Andrew, Dawn Redwoods are very similar to Bald Cypress trees, but they are not identical and are actually quite distinct from each other, once you can appreciate the differences. If you live in an appropriate hardiness zone, I say PLANT THE METASEQUOIA! They are both beautiful, as is the Larch, but there is something indescribable about M. glyptostroboides. I think it might be the fact that it is everywhere in fossils, but thought to be extinct. There is a magical quality to that idea.
I have both in my yard and for me it’s the dawn redwood every time.
I love the Dawn Redwood! I have a one year old Dawn Redwood that I’m going to eventually train as a bonsai and (3) 6 month old seedlings that I’d love to grow in the ground one day! The round ball cone shape is quite cool as well! And bonus, they are fairly easy to germinate in a wet paper towel in a ziplock bag as well!
Awesome - the bonsais are so cool! Good luck with yours :)
@@Andrew_the_Arborist Indeed!! thanks!!!
@@chingvang9320 I’m not to sure about intake for them in their natural growth, but as a bonsai I water mine once a day. Mine is in free draining bonsai soil.
@@chingvang9320 no problem at all! Have a great day! 🌱☀️💧🌳
has the coolest botanical name! My father used to take us kids to the botanical garden and show us the tree that "wes found one specimen in a forest in China" and we would say "aaa..."
We have a dawn redwood in corralitos, ca who’s trunk is bigger than these and probably just as tall. Was also planted in the mid 1900s with its cousin the coastal redwood close by
It was only declared extinct two years before someone was like "ah, no, not here in China" in the early 40s.
The sequoia is one of my favorite trees! The California giants have such a spongy texture that I have to touch it every time I see it. Absolutely beautiful trees! If given the opportunity, I recommend everyone see the giant sequoias in Cali, including General Sherman!
Lol nice😎
There are some big coast redwoods at William and Mary in Williamsburg Va, as well as a few other locations on the East Coast - same with Sequoia.
As for Metasequoia, I grow a few different varieties including Gold Rush. That’s a beautiful tree
I just visited the national champion Dawn redwood at the willowwood arboretum in NJ. Impressive and beautiful tree!
That shade spot is magnificent
I’ve seen them and they are for me a head turner..
Holy Moly! That’s the same tree like in my yard back behind the barn and another one over by the koi pond. I’m pretty sure my Daddy planted them both when he bought the property. Wow!
I’m so glad to know this ~ Thank you very much. Love your content 🌳
We have 5 of these at our work! Love redwoods
This is the first time I got a good look at the leaves. They're more different from cypresses than I thought.
Dawn Redwooods are my favorite
Very rare to see a conifer thats not also an evergreen. Very cool trees
Beautiful! Planted way to close to one another.
I like how this grove looks with them planted together. I think it makes them grow taller, quicker as they compete for light. But they can certainly be planted alone as specimen trees, too!
He is at Morris Arboretum in Chestnut Hill Pennsylvania. It is a beautiful place about 100 acres with a fascinating history. A must see place. I like about 10 miles from there.
There is one on State Rte. 90 in Aurora NY. The sign says (as I recall) it was planted in 1952.
There actually are several giant sequoias and coast redwoods in the eastern U.S., and there are a number of giant sequoias cultivated in the northeast and coast redwoods in the mid-Atlantic and southeast.
I didn't realize any of that. I always had thought redwoods were exclusive to the West Coast. This is interesting to know!
Stunning
My new favorite trees! I was born in 1953. Hope I live as long as they do.
Redwood trees are so beautiful 😊
Beautiful
Trees!!!❤️🌲🎉🎉🎉💫
I planted 20 giant sequoias Yonkers, New York Spring Ridge Park there 13 years old only 35 feet now and only 335 feet to go and all read with pin cone on it for three years. 🌱☀️
Really good job🎉
I used to live in a house that had a dawn redwood in the yard. I loved climbing that thing.
Trees are so beautiful
Nature is so wonderful.
So cool!
Beautiful gymnosperm! Got the largest specimen in the British Islands at Brodick Castle on the Isle of Arran. Great video... thanks!
I planted one in my back yard and grows rapidly. Beautiful to see new growth every year
Beautiful ❤
Magnificent
Cool tree!
I have a smallish (~50ft) garden. One of my neighbours has a garden that runs at right-angles to mine (at the back of mine)
He planted a Dawn Redwood alongside my garden about 4ft from the fence boundary about 20years ago.
The tree is now about 60ft tall, has destroyed the fence, and casts shade up the entire length of my garden.
It's a beautiful tree, but eventually it'll have to come down.
People just don't think what they're doing when they plant trees.
They're so pretty 😍
My original aquaintance with Dawn Redwoods was at the Winterbourne Botanical Gardens at Birmingham University UK. About 5 years ago I planted two of them having discovered saplings on sale locally. Unfortunately one of them died due to drought, being planted in the wrong location, however the other has survived and prospered and is now at least 15 feet tall having grown faster than it's cousin the giant sequoia I planted around the same time. I replaced the lost Dawn Redwood with another one last year which has survived the winter and is now bursting into leaf.
Nice
There is a coastal redwood in Bethesda/Chevy Chase planted by a family in their yard from when their son went to Cal Berkeley. It is 60ish years old and towering.
Do NOT plant those dang bald cypress just anywhere. We had heard it was a wonderful lawn specimen, and it probably is if you just have average rainfall on flat ground. We live at the bottom of a hill and get water down the bottom of our terrace when it rains. No standing water, just run off in a rain shower. And we have cypress knees all over. The more moisture, the more knees. However, we DO have a dawn redwood, and it is just the biggest, most beautiful tree around, and the moisture doesn’t faze it. Nice and an interesting trunk, beautiful form, strong root system that does NOT have knees. We planted our dawn redwood in 1988 and it is SO tall.!!! I’m in St. Louis, Missouri
my favorite trees at the arboretum :')
Amazing
Old Growth Bald Cypress used to be huge but they were mostly all felled for ship building in the 1800s.
I grew up with two of these beauties! Such amazing trees
69 years old
Nice. 😎👍
I have a coastal redwoods in my backyard, in North Carolina.
It's not true that there are no Sequoia or Sequoiadendron in the eastern USA - perhaps in smaller numbers, but both have been re-introduced, just like Metasequoia.
We have all three genera growing here in Australia too - as I understand it, they're likewise all represented in our fossil record and have been re-introduced after an absence of probably millions of years.
Awesome trees
Deciduous conifers
Theres one in my moms(was grandmothers) yard that was planted back in the 60s by my grandmother. We used to climb it as kids. Its still there and bigger now, lol.
Lazarus Taxa are so cool
I love you videos!!
Omg i want one so bad 😮
I found their fossils before seeing them alive. Truly amazing!
There are a few giant sequoias growing just north of manistee Michigan next to lake Michigan
Nice.
Deciduous conifer?! That's incredible, I've never seen anything like it before
Deciduous trees aren't so eyecatching without their leaves, so they can go larchly unnoticed.
The oil nut (?) fragments and is real mean to the bare foot and the needles fall in a dense mat that will be light enough to collect in your gutter without washing through, but too shallow for a leaf rake or lawn mower.
I was shocked by the unique trees in China. It was a great experience to see all the foliage, etc.
ooooh, Metasequoia Glyptostroboides! one of my favorite latin names!
Coast redwoods and giant sequoias actually grow pretty well in the eastern us! You just have to find the right location
Awesome.
I've got one of these on my property, but I didn't know it was special when I first bought my house. I was surprised when tree fans would stop by my yard to visit it. I was told by one of these visitors that my tree is only one of 11 in Delaware, but I'm not sure how to verify that.
I'm thinking about planting through the forests of Portugal 🤔
NICE
Oh wow so pretty!!! Their leaves remind me of, Palo Verde leaves; I'd say maybe, Green or Foothills Palo Verde. I like the color of, Blue Palo Verde, but their leaves are much smaller than the others
Redwood and Sequoia are separate tree types
There are Sequoias here in SC
Point being,they ARE in the Eastern USA
There are parks and areas named after them
Theres a Dawn Redwood planted as a street tree on Grays Ferry near Washington Ave. Peco already utility pruned it, its probably 25' tall. No idea why someone would plant a beautiful, massive tree in a sidewalk pit.
Nice growth rate
What would happen of you grafted on brances from the giant redwoods onto this redwood. Would the branches be able to deal with the harsh winter.
I think there is a Giant Sequoia in Tyler Arboretum in Media, PA
There is one in Michigan!! :)
I’m thinking of getting a few of these and making a bonsai forest
Feed it fish hydrolysate. Its favorite food. Fungal growth will be stimulated from that food, and these trees feed from & support the fungi, and thrive. When Michorrizhae attach to their roots, they can connect to each other and build root strength. They have shallow roots and need the fungal network to help stand up strongly.
🌳🌳😍😍😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
LETS CLIMB THEM :)
❤
Bald Cypress likes the south and wet, Dawn Redwood likes the north and normal soil.
This is the good side of UA-cam
I HAVE 2 GIANT SEQUOIA SAPPLINGS ❤ there 1.5 years old, germinated them from seeds and they are my babies. I want to grow more and plant them in the Sequoia Forest
I'd love to plant a tree like that, and live to see it grow that tall.
I wonder if I can make it to 130 y.o.?
I remember buying redwood seeds from the one in California I wanted a big boy tree. I got this kind I was so pissed off.
HOW OLD?!?
nice.
There is a giant sequoia in blithewold arboretum in rhode island
A deciduous conifer? I had no idea there was such a thing.
People first cut a long tree and then post "oh I found such a long tree still standing"! It will also cut down some day.
Beast coast represents
We have a dawn redwood in our front yard
In Rochester NY
there are two in Michigan!
My favorite Latin binomial of just about any plant
Are these in any other of the parks passport list in the Delaware Valley?
They are majestic like their extinct cousins but was it a good idea to plant giant trees that close together ..I mean these trees can grow wider than the current space between them .. Can't exactly replant them .,
Or maybe they can but at what cost?
I've heard that the ginkgo biloba tree has the same story. They thought they were extinct until somewhere found in China and brought back. Is this true?
did you say decidous- conifer?
that's so cool, that's like a platypus of the plant kingdom.
cone producing non evergreen.
The last of it's kind? We're just so lucky that they remain at larch! I could, take a deep breath, oscillate my Larix and sing! =P
