There are also redwoods in New Zealand. Redwoods Forest, Whakarewarewa
cool! im happy they are more prevalent. those are some cool trees
They're mostly planted outside of CA but they can survive and thrive in many places!
It's really interesting how tiny the native range of certain species of plants are, I have a Port Orford cedar in my yard that only natively grows on the coast right at the border of Oregon and California.
China has their own flavor of sequoias too.
cool!
The dawn redwood or metasequoia glyptostroboides, the only deciduous variety of redwood is super cool and they're so pretty!
Yes they are! I live among them and they're awesome.
I'm pretty sure you can grow them in michigan too - they just won't get very tall.
There's also the "Dawn Redwood", thought extinct and discovered in China in 1940s, that is now planted all over the US.
We have a few redwood forests in my state in Australia.
And you have our Eucalyptus in your state.
Fair trade I say.
There's a rare phoenix sequoia that I know of.
Seeds have been bought back from America and cultivated on large private estates.
My friends dad is a horticulturist who helps bring redwoods noth as climate changes. They are awesome!
I mean its basically the same environment, and Taxodiaceae were globally distributed not even that long ago. This really shouldn't be too surprising.
In NZ they grow like weeds.
