I have been trying to find a good way to capture hiking footage with a GoPro and think I have finally found something that works reasonably well (the holder loops around my neck). I took some video clips while hiking around Burr Pond State Park (and stopping to check on a few Dawn Redwoods).

Growing Dawn Redwoods
มุมมอง 9Kปีที่แล้ว
I grow Dawn Redwoods from seed. It’s a truly unique tree - been around for 100 million years and was almost lost to extinction. This video describes how I do this so if anyone would like to try, they can.

The Air Line Rail Trail - East Hampton, CT - A late fall bike ride
มุมมอง 2572 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a short video of a late fall bike ride on the Air Line Trail - probably the best non-asphalted rail trail in CT. Start at the 69 Smith St., East Hampton parking lot, and head east. The trail to Willimantic is beautiful the entire way (20ish miles). At the 10 mile marker, you can take the Colchester spur for 3 miles into Colchester and have some lunch at the Red Rose Desserts and More be...

Kayaking on the Mattabesset River, Middletown, CT - 10/31/2021
I would love to try to grow these here in Denver Colorado. Can you provide me with some seeds? I can send you my information.
There are a few at our County Courthouse in Mendocino Co. & In my neighborhood.
Can I get some seeds from you? I have a 25 year old California redwood that I have grown from a seedling. This winter it went -20 and half the tree now is dead, the cold snap also severely damaged my Sequoia’s too.
Remarkable. May I ask if you have seeds available?
Hi Tom, How can I get some seeds from you. I can pay for the shipping. Please let me know.
Hi Sir. Quick question. Do you think that I can plant this tree in central America? I'm from El Salvador and I wonder if I would be able to do it. Because we only have spring and summer season. We don't have fall and winter and the temperature year around is about 80 degrees in the area where I want to plant them. If you have any advice I will appreciate it. Thanks in advance!!
I would love to try seed starting. I planted 2 dawns in nj 30 years ago im in SC now and have 3. That donot produce seeds. Thank you how would i get in contact with you
Very cool tree.
I have about 10 giant sequoias I am attempting to grow here in Ohio and would love to try to grow a few dawn redwoods if you'd be so kind to provide some seeds or possibly a sapling or two! I will take care of them as though they are my child :)
Do they also spread naturally at you location or do they need the help of humans?
Thank you for the informative video. I have a Dawn Redwood I planted in 2000. It’s now 40’ tall and over the past few years it has begun dropping cones. I’m hoping to start growing some seedlings myself to pass them out to friends and family and on to the kids.
I planted a seedling in Three Rivers MI, back in 1995. It was beside a forest, so once established (about four years) it shot up fast. When we sold the property in 2008, it was about 20 feet tall, I haven’t seen it since then.
Hello Mr. Ouimet I am very interested in getting the tree seeds from you if that is possible. Thank you I am a tree enthusiast primordially, fruit, pine, and maple trees. TY. You can send me a PM, I look forward to communicating with you soon… Have a great day! José L. Guisado Dryden, NY
6:07 Mr Ouimet I would like to take you up on your offer of seeds if possible. Frans vanGerwen I Hiram road Paris, Ontario Canada N3l 2P7 Your consideration is much appreciated.!
I wish I lived where these would grow, but instead I will just have to be satisfied with moringa trees.
What is the specs of your growing light?
Hello my name is Collin Crawford. I saw your video about growing dawn red wood trees. I am wanting to grow some here in north East Tennessee. Do you sell your seedlings? if I could get your contact information and ask you a few questions it would be extremely helpful. Thanks!

This tree is awesome, one of my favorites, I have 5 planted along with a bald cypress and pond cypress near our grain bins in central Iowa, they are growing at Jack & The Beanstalk speed. I throw some chicken manure around the base of these trees and then water it in the ground pretty good, it seems like growth just springs out of them over the next 3 or 4 days after doing that. One of the five trees looks noticeably different than the other four, which is pretty cool. I'm going to plant 18 more in the SW corner of the farm. Just my 2 cents, but in Zone 5, from my experience this tree ends up more healthy if planted in the spring, as opposed to the fall, also, the Japanese battle will descend upon them in mass. Definitely have to watch out for that.
Those Japanese beetles may hang out on those trees but will do no harm to them like on grapevines and other plants. No worries

@@unreconstructed9172 oh, no kidding? I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. Those beetles also seem to hang out on the Austrian pine trees in my NW windbreak, but not in mass like they will do to the fruit & nut trees in the orchard. Is it a similar situation then, they also won't harm the Austrian pine trees? I wasn't sure if I needed to spray them or not.
I would like to buy some, but I live in Hungary. You think it would be possible?
I recently discovered dawn redwoods and decided to try growing one as a bonsai. It arrived yesterday as bareroot and seems very eager to grow. I really wish I could put it in the ground but I don't think the hoa would appreciate it. Hopefully we will be moving soon so I can plant some. Fascinating species.
Hi Tom, so happy I found your channel. I would love if I could get some seeds from you if possible. I have one that is about a year old in my garden. But would love to try to grow some from seed at the house we are moving to. I wouldn’t mind paying for the seeds and for your help with it all.
Just came across your video and I am interested in growing this beautiful tree
How are the trees you planted in the wild doing?
Hello, how can I get in contact with you for seeds?
I have a giant sequoia tree, but I have never tried a dawn redwood. I'm terrible with trees from seeds. I can do pretty well with a yearling, or older.
Hi, thx for the video. How can I contact u to get seeds
Please let us know when you have seeds available please, sir!!
I’ve been growing one for 5 years and it recently died this year Please send me some seed I would be honored in growing a seedling from you’re mother tree
Could one grow a Dawn Redwoods in WI ?
Hey Tom! I would like to have some of your Dawn Redwood seeds. I want to plant some on my property in Upstate.
Hi Tom, how wound I go about obtaining some seeds? I have been growing a giant sequoia and a coast redwood and would love to add a dawn redwood
Would love to have some to put on my property. I have planted alot of oaks as they are a majestic tree . My proberty has some low lying ares perfect for these trees. I would like plant about 50 or so.
I would like some seeds I have about five seedlings need some more.
Metasequoia ...it's scientific/Latin name stirs my imagination. Much like the cannibis studies. So good to have them around.
their cones of redwoods look and function very similar to that of alders as well
they share a similar growth habit with wetland poplar trees
I had brain cancer last year and it affected my left side. Of course, I did everything but kick with my left side. I got a new hobby afterwards, growing different types of redwoods, including the dawn redwood and pine trees. It's turning out I'm actually pretty good at it! I have 3 acres, 90% of it is open space.
Super cool friend enjoy your bounty
Thanks for the video. I was told it's very important to keep seeds slightly moist but not overwater. And you say to set the seed trays in water! My guess both methods work!
I absolutely love this! I live in upper east Tennessee and I've been noticing a few these around my area. You can't miss them as they grow perfectly shaped compared to the other trees around them. I'm a huge tree hugger lol..I guess maybe some of the original hippie made into me. I was a late bloomer as being born in '67. Anyway it's mind boggling to think we have some of these here. Everything I've read and looked up mainly shows them being on the west coast. I may take you up on some seeds to grow of my own as soon as I sell my current home. You see the family decided to put in a pool and a lot of our backyard is dedicated to the pool, so very little land. Once I can find my place in the country with enough land, I'll be planting quite a few things around the house lol. Take care and God Bless 🙏🏼 ♥️
very beautiful tree , it melt my heart . i m from india i want to have DAWN REDWOODS . I WISH I GET .
I live in northeast Texas and I would love to start growing dawn redwood trees. How do I get a hold of some?
How can someone contact you? Would love to get either seeds or a tree
would love too grow some here In the Foothills of North Carolina :) Great Job and Nice Documentation Sir.
Hi Tom, how can i receive seeds from you?
I would love to try this either from seed or with a young tree! I already have a young redwood from my time in California that would go nicely with one of these.
I bought 5 saplings online last year and 4 survived the winter, they're short but bushy and have lots of buds on them this spring. I have a huge pile of compost from the old farmer who used to live on the property, thinking i might dig up a few cubic feet of it and plant it with the trees, think this will make any difference?
Someone posted a picture of a tree in a local park of our town of Saugatuck Michigan. They were asking if anyone knew what type of tree this was. The comments poured in With the more knowledgeable stating it was a Dawn Redwood. My wife. (Dawn) and I, are tree lovers. She was fascinated by this tree, which began our search on how to grow one. Your video is fantastic! Not only are you informative, but your passion and kindness are seen in your presentation. Thanks so much for your great work. Roger and Dawn. Poel
Tom all my cones got a white mold in the shed in the brown bag all the seeds were mush. If you have any seeds I would be happy to pay to ship them. If not I guess this spring I’ll take cuttings.
Thank you for the very informative video. I line in Philadelphia, zone 7 and I have 5 Dawn Redwoods growing in an 8 "' bulb pan. This spring they will be 3 years old and I received them bare-rooted. They seem very happy, bright green but do not seem to be growing very much at all. I would like to train them to be bonsai trees but have done nothing but keep them alive. What would you recommend me doing to get them to start growing?
