Dawn Redwood - Edinboro, PA - Sequoioideae Trees on Waymarking.com

This dawn redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) is located at Goodell Gardens and Homestead on Route 6N in Edinboro, Pennsylvania. The Gardens' self-guided tour brochure has a description of this specific tree, noting that Carrie Goodell "planted this tree in 1952, after learning of its 'rediscovery' in China in 1944. Called a 'living fossil,' this ancient species was once believe to have become extinct. In 1948, Harvard University sent an expedition to collect seeds and, soon after, made seedling trees available to the public. Carrie paid $14.83 for a sapling and noted in her garden diary that this was the 'most she ever paid for one plant in the garden!' Closely related to the Giant Sequoia of California, this species is a deciduous conifer which sheds its needles in Fall. It is known for its beautiful, soft needles and buttressed trunk."
