red dawn conifer

Stevenson, MD

We have a tree in our field which some call a 'red dawn conifer' others call it a Chinese something-or-other.

What is it?? Shall I send a picture??

Dawn redwood?

Picture - yes.

That sounds like a Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/31760/

Many thanks for the input.

I am impressed by the knowledge; I'm fairly naïve about all this so please bear with me.

Am enclosing a picture of the tree.

That's a decent sized Dawn Redwood.
