Pretty certain that tree1.jpg is Metasequoia glyptostroboides.


Yikes! I think you might be right. My book says it can grow to 40m.
It's about 4m at the moment and fits in to my suburban garden very nicely.

I'm not sure what to do now - it's a lovely tree, but maybe I should
take it out now, while I still can.
