Dawn Redwood, Metasequoia glyptostroboides, is one of just a few deciduous conifers. On the Medford Campus, you can view them at the corner of Medford Leas Way and Bridlington Way, or at the entrance to the Lois Forrest Nature Center; on the Lumberton Campus, you are greeted by these trees on the left as you enter the community. These trees are  known for their rapid growth in a pyramidal shape, growing to 75-100’ tall. At this time of the season the orange and golden colors of the needles are a special treat to behold.
