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
