Metasequoia glyptostroboides, also called dawn redwood, is a deciduous, coniferous tree. These three trees in fall #foliage with cones are on State Street & MLK Blvd, Bristol, #Virginia. Once thought extinct, the trees are now grown in arboretum and, rarely, city streets. #trees #autumn #photography
