Welcome to Metasequoia.net Metasequoia, Dawn Redwood, Chinese Redwood, Water Fir, Shui Shan ， We are providing information to those of who are interested in the Chinese Plants, the Natural History and the Chinese Culture, with all related resources you need from that ancient orient country - China! Four of Metasequoia seedlings brought back by Chaney were planted on the campus of the UC, Berkeley campus, where they still thrive, and some went to the University of Oregon in Eugene. There were two expeditions to the Metasequoia Valley in the summer of 1948, one was by the Chinese and the other from the U. The latter was the last. Metasequoia glyptostroboides ‘Hamlet’s Broom’ is a compact form of Dawn Redwood with creamy white variegated foliage in spring, changing to bright green in summer and becoming golden yellow to deep russet in fall before needle drop as winter approaches. Characteristic shaggy orange bark can be admired on this tree that has a size.
Side note:I am using Metasequoia 3 but it should work the same on every version you wanna use. So let`s start with our stuff: 1. Step: creating the base of the hair This is kinda self explained but I will do so nevertheless. With the primitive command we create a 'ball' with some polygons(be greedy,you can always reduce them later).
Nanjing Forestry University (NFU) was founded in 1902 with the merger of the Forest Departments of Central University and of Jinling University. Located in the east of Nanjing, at the foot of beautiful Purple Mountain and east of Xuanwu Lake, NFU is a comprehensive university administered directly by Jiangsu Provincial Department of Education together with the Central Government. NFU has now been listed as one of the nation’s top universities by China’s Double First-class Initiative in Universities and Disciplines and is jointly built by Ministry of Education of China and Jiangsu People’s Government.

This is a large, fast-growing, deciduous, pyramidal evergreen tree that grows up to 100' tall with attractive, feathery foliage that is easy to transplant. It has spreading branches that droop with age. Pin branchlets are paired, and drop as a unit. This plant prefers moist, deep, well-drained soils that are slightly acidic. It is tolerant of wet soils but intolerant of early frees. This plant has minimal pest and disease problems. It can be utilized as a specimen tree for large areas such as parks, golf courses, large commercial or governmental grounds, and as a 'living fossil'. It is also tolerant of pollution and can be used as a street tree. It needs plenty of room to grow as it can grow to be 25' wide. Dawn Redwood was discovered during a plant expedition into remote China in the 1940s. It was first known from a fossil record, not living extant plants.
Japanese beetles will eat the foliage.
Quick ID Hints:
