The Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia) is a prehistoric deciduous conifer known as a living fossil. Originating in the Mesozoic Era, it thrived in forests alongside dinosaurs. Fossil specimens were the only record until 1944, when living trees were discovered in central China. Today, Dawn Redwoods grow rapidly into tall, pyramidal trees reaching 120 feet. Fossil Metasequoia provides a direct connection to prehistoric forests, ancient climates, and plant evolution, making it highly sought after by paleobotany enthusiasts, educators, and museums.
