Dawn Redwood at Tsinghua Courtyard


I returned to Tsinghua University campus again today and took another look of the four old Dawn Redwood (Shui Shan) trees there in the courtyard one week later. I'm really amazed at how fast they're growing their new leaves. Here are a few photos of the trees I just took today.

Here they are - standing tall with more newly sprouted green leaves (in full view)

Let me get a little closer to them

Close-up of their new leaves

This branch apparently shows clearly the peculiar shapes of the leaves

The two trees on the west-side of the Courtyard

The other two on the opposite side of the Courtyard

Another look of the delicate sprouting leaves

New leaves in front of the huge main trunk

The leaves from a much younger Dawn Redwood tree (near the university's West Entrance) actually have managed to grow a little larger in size
