THE DINOSAUR TREE! GROWS EXTREMELY FAST! This fast growing tree was first only known as a fossil and had thought to be extinct. It was originally found in fossils dating back 60 million years ago. It's a deciduous conifer (drops its needles in the Fall). Before the needles drop they change color from fresh green to red! The first years of its life this tree grows extremely fast: up to 70 ft. in the first 15-20 years. Very easy to grow in any regular to moist soil. It forms a very attractive trunk after just 7-10 years.
