Botanic Garden Photo - Metasequoia glyptostroboides in Summer   This Metasequoia glyptostroboides
holds the New England record for size.
The rare dawn redwood was known
only from the fossil record until
discovered in a remote valley in China.
Seed distributed to Smith by the Arnold
Arboretum in 1947 produced this
champion now growing behind
