Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: Dawn Redwood, 0 by katrinas

Do note that this tree is deciduous, and has juvenile and mature foliage differences. The bright green juvenile foliage will mature dark green then turn light bronze, yellow, gold, apricot or red in fall. The orange-brown to red-brown bark is also deciduous by peeling in stringy vertical flaky strips. Mature trunks age gray, rugged and buttressed base to 9', and needs room to grow. Structurally interesting even when bare. This living fossil was re-discovered in 1946 in China.
