Here are some of my favourite trees, or trees I'd consider growing
Conifers
Ginkgo Biloba
- I get mine from underneath the Liriodendron Tulipfera outside Wilson Hall at the Uni
- China/Japan
- Tallest are 50m, but more typically 20-35m
Sequoiadendron Giganteum
- giant sequoia/redwood

- 50-85m
Metasequoia glyptostroboides
- Dawn Redwood
- China
- Tallest ever recorded was 50m, more typically 30-40m
Glyptostrobus pensilis
- Chinese swamp cypress

Taxodium Distichum
- Swamp/Bald cypress

- 25-40m (50m by 3500 years old unless it gets burned down by a floridian meth addict)
Phyllocladus aspleniifolius
- Celerytop Pine
- TAS
- 20m-ish tall
- One specimen in systems garden.
- Can be grown from cutting. When grown from cuttings, some of the soil in the cutting mix needs to be from a Celery-topped Pine stand. This is because the roots need certain types of mycorrhizal fungi to help absorb nutrients from the soil.
