Dawn redwood, part III: winter mode

Self-tutoring about local trees: the tutor makes another observation about local dawn redwoods.

I wrote a few posts about local dawn redwoods, the most recent here. It will lead interested readers back to earlier ones.

Dawn redwood is deciduous here. The dawn redwoods I earlier described are losing, or else have lost, much of their foliage. Their cones remain, hanging rather like acorns, but light-green and about half the size. Their flesh has a twisted look. Without the needles, the cones are quite noticeable.

The source link below has a great picture of dawn redwood cones.
