Another tree thought extinct for millions of years is the Metasequoia. 5 were discovered in a valley in China in about 1946. Know one in town knows how, but three were growing at a house locally. They were cut down because they were too close to the house. They get to be 200 tall. The trees can be purchased online, but plan for a large growth area.
I never Metasequoia I didn’t like. I have two of those “dawn redwoods” in my back yard (planted both of them myself). They were initially small enough that I could take them home in my compact car. The larger one is probably the tallest tree in my yard now (it’s been there more than 20 years). I have a large yard. They are related to the California redwoods but are deciduous.
