Twin Dawn Redwoods II
These Twin Dawn Redwoods (Metasequoia glyptostroboides)
grow next to each other in an area between the Flowering Arboretum and
the Baker Overlook. According to garden lore, the trees were not
supposed to be planted so close to one another, but the saplings had
taken root where they were being stored while awaiting final placement.
Native to China, the Dawn Redwood is an ancient tree species, dating
back to the Mesozoic Era. Photo taken on August 29, 2013.
