          They’re mostly planted outside of CA but they can survive and thrive in many places!

          It’s really interesting how tiny the native range of certain species of plants are, I have a Port Orford cedar in my yard that only natively grows on the coast right at the border of Oregon and California.

      I’m pretty sure you can grow them in michigan too - they just won’t get very tall.

      There’s also the “Dawn Redwood”, thought extinct and discovered in China in 1940s, that is now planted all over the US.

      We have a few redwood forests in my state in Australia.

      And you have our Eucalyptus in your state.

      Fair trade I say.

      There’s a rare phoenix sequoia that I know of.

      Seeds have been bought back from America and cultivated on large private estates.
