Western red cedar

Western red cedar
There appear to be some burls forming on the trunk. Scientific name for Western red cedar is Thuja plicata - it's not a true cedar.

No, but hey are related. Metasequoias ("Dawn redwoods") are deciduous. From Wiki: "The three redwood subfamily genera are Sequoia and Sequoiadendron of California and Oregon, United States; and Metasequoia in China." So, they can all be called by the generic name "redwood," but the Giant redwoods of California are most commonly called that.

Ah, thanks a lot for the information!
When my brother was in the USA maybe 20 years ago he brought home some seeds from a redwood tree and planted them. Meanwhile they are surely already 2 m high. :-)

We had some in our yard outside Seattle! They also occur in the Sierra Nevada, in the wetter places.

Really? I didn't know that! There aren't many wet places around here, so not many western cedar.
