I planted this tree in August 1980 as a one-quart seedling. Now it is 35-feet high and 16-inches DBH. Extreme taper.

Growing up, I used to think these were larch (tamarack) but upon closer inspection it appears to be Dawn Redwood.
Not a very healthy tree
Planted by Dave Lewis in 2005
about 25 feet tall. Growing against building. Partial shade.
This rare deciduous redwood species is located near the SPAWN offices
A tree with light brown, very flaky bark. The needles came off of the branch flat, and were light green, and soft with a sort of rubbery feel. There were no cones to be seen.
Large tree with flaky light brown bark. Looks like a conifer but no cones. Pines have parallel structure that are light green and do not spiral. Pines are almost rubbery to the touch and long and thin
One of several dawn redwoods lining the main access path of the Missouri Botanical Garden's Linnean Building.
10-12 foot dawn redwood tree was planted by Plant Oregon in 2007 in our backyard. This photo was taken the day it was planted.
I've been meaning to photograph and upload this tree. (or at least I think it's this tree! kind of hard to tell in winter)
