Seconded! Tim

Thank you both for your comments. It is cool to think about the possibility of these trees gaining ground all over the place. The fact that Sean has some growing that are already over his head is also really cool. People just have to have the foresight to plant them in places that will...

Apologies, Stig. Man, that's embarrassing. You've only got your location listed listed below your avatar, so how the heck am I supposed to know? :lol: :stoopyd: Tim

Hey, Stig! Thanks for the links. In the Wikipedia article, it looks like the Dawn Redwood was actually rediscovered by Chinese foresters prior to the outbreak of WWII. The mission to acquire samples had to wait until after the war was over. Here's a quote from the article: "In 1941 a...
