This is one of my favorite trees on my property- the Metasequoia (Dawn Redwood). This is one of three species of Conifers known as Redwoods. Even though it is the smallest it can grow to 200 ft tall and up to 6 feet wide at the base. They are originally from China. In the fall, the leaves go from a green to an orange brown. But the fruit, a  Four-sided, box-like cone that hangs on long stalks are, round to cylindrical in shape, 1/2 to 1 inch long and start out as a solid green cone.. They mature in in the Summer and go to a  Brown color and open up with a spiral pattern. Then in the fall they change to Green in color. So they are like a reverse color scheme from Summertime going back to Green, but are open with the spiral. They are fun to photograph because of the colors and the depth of the cone. The Cones are a great challenge for a macro photo, a great subject for image stacking because of cylindrical spiral open rows. The trunk also has great texture and colors.
