Tree Identification
I'm sending photos. This tree is 90' high, 10' around. "rope-like" trunk, leaves are more piney than leaf. Bark is rusty/gold like. It is all alone in a stand of pine and maple.
Answer
We showed this to one of our horticulturists and he thinks it's a Metasequoia or dawn redwood, a deciduous, coniferous tree that grows in a conical shape to 100’ tall. It grows in hardiness zones 5 - 8 and is native to central and western China. Google this name in Google images for more views.
Thanks for contacting us and enjoy your tree.
