I posted Metasequoia glyptostroboides exactly one minute before EZ, but I deleted it by accident cuz I was watching a wicked good basketball game.

Actually, almost 7 am and I'm heading out the door due to the unusually high heat days we are having. It was 88-degrees at 10 am yesterday.
About last night... all I was trying to say is that there is obviously an electronic component to this game and that some servers may be slower and so we could allow for an occasional tie.
Here's a photo, but MTCInc. isn't allowed to guess on this one as he probably even knows where this famous tree is located.

EZ guessed first (i think)

Yeah, dawn redwood!

Pretty neat planting site. It is at the newer UCSF medical center campus in the SOMA area of SF. Lots of Dawns, and some forests of Canary pines.

I would love to prune all those dawns, it would be a few weeks of very fun work

Well, since I cant tell ya what it is, all I can say is my father does docent hikes there!

Nice pic

Enjoy the heat today
 
Really cool. Learned something today:

"It was in 1640 that the "Earl of Camperdown", in Dundee Scotland, noticed a branch growing on the floor of his elm forest. He grafted it to a scotch elm tree and it took hold producing the first Camperdown Elm. The scotch elm is the only root mass that the Camperdown will grow on. The tree is a mutant and cannot self reproduce. Every Camperdown Elm tree in the world is a part of the original that must be grafted to a scotch elm tree to get started. When the graft starts to grow, the scotch elm branches are cut off leaving only the Camperdown Elm. This magnificent tree depends on humankind to keep it alive as a species."
 
since that looks correct.

I'll say the others....


Pollarded trees; Plane Tree (second guess would be chinese elms?)

evergreens on the right; upright Yew.

Correct, you are, Tom!
I figured you guys from the East would get it since it's not planted out here very much

And all of Xman's info is also correct!

There's a story about this particular tree and maybe since MTCInc.'s dad is a docent at the gardens MTCInc. will have more accurate information.

This tree is at the Filoli Gardens near Woodside, CA and years ago supposedly a disgruntled employee took a chainsaw to it and made a complete cut around its trunk basically to girdle it but the tree still stands (maybe the cut didn't get all the way to the cambium?) What's the story, MTCInc.?

"Supposedly a disgruntled employee took a chainsaw to it and made a complete cut around its trunk basically to girdle it but the tree still stands..."

Sounds like a mythical tale about the graft union, which is usually very visible on these trees.
