Notes
- Dawn redwood is a deciduous conifer tree in the cypress family. It is native to central and western China, where fossil records show it has existed for at least 50 million years. This tree was first known from a fossil record, not from living extant plants, and its common name refers to its ancient origins in the “dawn” of time. Living specimens were first discovered during a plant expedition into remote China in the 1940's.
- Dawn Redwood is a large, conical-shaped tree reaching 70 to 100 feet high. The fern-like feathery foliage emerges light green in spring, changing to dark green in summer, then a russet-brown in autumn
