Dawn Redwood, Metasequoia glypstostroboides Forming an avenue either side of Farm Drive in Hulne Park.
Until the 1940s, when it was discovered growing in China, the dawn redwood was only known from fossil specimens found throughout the northern hemisphere. Believed to have survived unchanged since the Cretaceous era, the first of the rediscovered trees to be grown in Britain can be found in the Cambridge University Botanic Garden.
