  • Metasequoia glyptostroboides

Metasequoia glyptostroboides

SKU:
CA$0.00
Unavailable
per item

Common name: Dawn redwood


Metasequoia glyptostroboides was thought to be extinct and had only been identified from fossils, but living trees were discovered in China during World War II. The tree is now endangered in China due to rice cultivation, but it has been widely planted elsewhere in the world. In areas with hot summers, flowering pollen cones appear in the spring, but they were found on one of our trees in the fall of 2019. More about this living fossil.
