A Unique Dawn Redwood Tree in Lakewood Ohio

- In this video, we visit the dawn redwood tree in Lakewood Park, Lakewood Ohio. This tree is approximately 50' tall with a trunk circumference of approximately 10'. What makes this tree unique is the extensive branching it has starting at about the 4' level. I don't know if this growth happened naturally or if this is something the arborists who tend to the trees in the park did by design but it is indeed unique and worth checking out.
i have two in my yard: one very tall and one just like the one in your video. The one similar to the one in your video had the main leader snapped off by a bird: it stopped growing up and instead produced all these side branches
Leaves - not needles. The tree was topped some time ago - the reason for the small leader.
Looks like it might be from wind. The tree was probably planted around 4'-5' tall. The lower branches started growing when the tree was in a nursery. After the tree was moved to it's current location, it began to grow differently due to the higher winds off of the lake. Fewer buds survived the wind, so fewer branches above 4' - 5'.
Seems like a sound analysis. You must know quite a bit about trees. Thanks for thr info.
looks like someone topped it off a few times when it was young, for the trunk to get that large at the bottom, maybe someone kept collecting the leaders to grow clones over a number of years, or maybe deer kept eating its top its about deer mouth height, then maybe they killed the deer or they put up fencing to protect the tree, until it grew larger, because the bottom trunk looks at least 50 years old while above the fat trunk could be 20 years old
Leader was probably damaged at some point and and a new one developed
Why is it so stubby. Probably lost its top in a storm. This is how pine trees look when they loos their top.
Without looking at it better it’s impossible to say, but I don’t see damage to the leader, it coukd be genetic but I’m honestly not sure if these are propagated they seed or asexually, if seed then why not genetic ?
ive hung out at this tree before
