[quote:Anonymous Coward 13778508:MV8xODU5MjU4XzMxMDA2NDk5X0Y0QjA4RjlD] Dawn Redwoods are phenomenal trees. You will not go wrong! One of the original sprigs from that re-discovered Chinese one is planted on the lawn at McGill University. It's not huge yet, but it's awesome all the same. [/quote]

in looking up rare heirloom seeds i have come across such a remarkable tree i had to share it here with you:

it is called the dawn redwood
[
link to en.wikipedia.org
]
it is ancient. once thought to be only a fossil, a few were found in china. now it is making a slow comeback!
i seriously just bought 30 seeds on amazon for a DOLLAR!
it likes acidic soil and lots of water. will even grow in standing water!
my soil is acidic and i have a marsh in the back so i am going to plant mine there.
the trunk can grow to 100 feet wide! such a gorgeous tree!
winding twisting trunk and roots :)
fern like coniferous leaves!

go get some seeds if you live in a place that can grow them. they are the fastest growing coniferous redwoods second only to the redwoods of california.
they can get to be 100 feet tall
