A Tree with a Past: the Dawn Redwood, or Metasequois by F. W. Jane , D.sc.
Professor of Botany in the University of London
The Dawn Redwood was discovered seven years ago in China. It is a legacy from antiquity and as such has attracted considerable attention-so much so that Professor Jane has described it as the journalists' tree. In this talk he explains the reasons for its popularity.
