Europe here..
Redwoods can grow here too though.
They are the type of forest that looks the most ancient to me, it's almost fantasy..

I like it!......Patient seems like a great word to describe them. I'll have to use that when my grandson is older and he ask me what patients is.

I read that Chestnuts and elms were quite magnificient and plentiful but because of their density (something like that), they were cut down and made into chips first.
There is something about a chestnut tree that attracts me.

Crysaetos, I wouldve taken you as a Canadian LOL.
Red woods grow awosme in the UK. They tend to enjoy coolish wettish conditions ( although they handle drough extremely well!).
I can understand why the forests look ancient. They are one of the oldest living tree species! They used to grow all around North america, and even europe and asia. IF I remember right, Line is 100 million years old!!! They find fossil stumps in alberta. There is also one, that is relitivly new toscience. Metaseqoia (dawn redwood) was only known in the fossil record untill 60 years ago, when it was foind growing in temple grounds in china. TI is actualy the exact same tree as the fossil record! ( like the ginko, cept the ginko has slightly changed) There were less then 50 of them, now due to cultivation thers MILLIONS!!!! You want your own "jurassic park". throwin some redwood, ginko, ferns and your set!!

Great thread Spiritlite.
I'm a tree person too. I have a stunning twisted willow in the garden which is just gorgeous.
I'm also a secret tree-hugger (shhhh, don't tell anyone). For me, trees represent strength and if I need a bit of a pick-me-up, I go and hug a tree.

That's cool!
Does the redwood tree have a softish bark, almost sponge-like? I only ask because I was on holiday a few years ago (near the Welsh border) and rented out a cottage. The groundsman showed us a walk (within the grounds) down to a beautiful little river and on the way pointed out these spongey trees. He told us to thump the bark (eek!) but after he did, we did too. It was surprisingly giving. Am I thinking of the same tree?
