Every fall, I try to make it to the National Arboretum to see the stand of Dawn Redwoods (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) and their magnificent fall display. Unfortunately, they are late this year and just beginning to turn. I'll try again next week. These trees were grown from seedlings discovered in China in 1942, at a time when the species had been assumed extinct for many years. They are amazing deciduous conifers and I'm lucky to have them so close to where I live!
