(Metasequoia glyptostroboides)
looks as if it is blooming.
A Formosa Lily seeded under the tree
gets more flowers each year
despite the rabbits eating all the lower leaves.
Dawn Redwood was thought to be extinct
only found in fossils. Discovered in the 1940's
in China all the 'new' trees come from that
stock. Mine came from Nancy Goodwin's
'Montrose' in Hillsborough NC. Where you
can see a huge one. There is also one at
the Pitt County Arboretum http://pitt.ces.ncsu.edu/Pitt+County+Arboretum/
