tree ID (see who knows)

I think the cones are wrong for Taxodium, looks like the wrong shape for Metasequoia, I,ll stick with Sequoia sempervirens.

[Rob Murison]

your first tree is either a Taxodium distichum, swamp cypruss or a Metasequoia glyptostraboidies - dawn redwood - both are deciduous conifers.

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

sempivirens and macrocarpa pyramidalis

[Giles Hill]

Sequioa with desiccated foliage.

 

The brown leaves did throw me for a bit, thinking about the deciduous conifers but it's mid Feb and the tree is in leaf. I should think the desiccation is being caused by freezing winds.

 

 

 

Sequioa - the cone is a definite

1st one taxodium distichum not a metasequoia they have oppisite shoots taxodium has alternate

Im not saying your wrong yes it is deciduous but in a shelted location it would still hang on to the folaige and if it is a sequoia it must be in a very windy area you might be right the cones are in the right place:biggrin:

Probably a one or a combination of the following:

 

1. Water freezes in the leaf cells and bursts them, causing parts of the leaf to die.

2. The passage of water is blocked by frozen vessels, so the leafs dry out.

3. In windy conditions when the ground is frozen, the roots aren't able to draw up water and the leafs dehydrate.
