The Pet Paddock at Struan Farm is finally starting to reflect the changing season. If I had to choose, the Dawn Redwoods would be my favorite trees in this paddock, much as I love the huge oak trees too. In the past week they have turned a lovely golden brown:
"Metasequoia" dates back 100 million years by fossil remains. It was thought to have been extinct for over 5 million years when it was rediscovered in China in 1946. While it still grows in Hubei and Szechuan, China, it is considered critically endangered due to poor regeneration in the wild. These are very special trees!
