This fast growing tree was first only known as a fossil and was thought to be extinct. It's a deciduous conifer (drops it's needles in the fall) Before the needles drop, they can change color from fresh green to yellow and red! This tree grows up to 70ft during the first 10-15 years of its life. Very easy to grow in any regualr or moist soil. It forms a very attractive trunk after 7-10 years.
