DAWN REDWOOD, 
WORLD'S RAREST PLANT 
Metasequouia glyptostroboides, DAWN 
REDWOOD. Deciduous coniferous 
tree. Discovered in 1948 in 
remotest China by Dr. Ralph W. 
Chaney, this "living fossil" is 
today perhaps the world's rarest 
plant. The history of this tree 
goes back for a hundred million 
years when it was known to have 
grown along the West Coast. We 
are fortunate in having been able 
to secure some of the first (and 
last) seed out of China, to be 
able to propagate it, and to be 
one of the first nurseries to 
offer plants for sale. Hardy, 
tolerant, not known to have any 
insect or disease enemies.
