          They’re mostly planted outside of CA but they can survive and thrive in many places!

          It’s really interesting how tiny the native range of certain species of plants are, I have a Port Orford cedar in my yard that only natively grows on the coast right at the border of Oregon and California.

      There’s a rare phoenix sequoia that I know of.

      Seeds have been bought back from America and cultivated on large private estates.

        The dawn redwood or metasequoia glyptostroboides, the only deciduous variety of redwood is super cool and they’re so pretty!
