There is one dawn redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) Kosugidani in Yakushima (Kagoshima).
I'm told this tree was a post-WWII gift from the US for saving the life of a pilot who crashed in the nearby mountains.[Top of page]

The girth of this tree is not known. This tree was planted in 1968, which makes it exactly 45 years old (Jenny, Aug 14, 2012).
