Hmm! No such tree as Metasquoia sempervirens..

Think you mean Metasequoia glyptostroboides or Dawn redwood...and yes that is what it is.

It can grow pretty big.

The bark is usually beautifully corrugated /fluted as my pic.
Yet another of my favourite trees.
Incidentally it is a conifer...but not evergreen. It looses all its leaves in winter.
But before that goes a lovely colour in the autumn.

Another name for it is Water Larch - I wonder if it is to do with it being deciduous like the larch? Did cross my mind it was a REDwood, but I thought that was a bit obvious, dur! Should have gone with the gut feeling and not tried to be clever - and wrong! Lovely tree, very tactile. _________________ Be humble, for you are made of earth Be noble, for you are made of stars

Sue never ever heard it called Water larch.
Looked on www ...nothing there either.
It certainly wouldn't be found in wet areas.
