Very cool. They classify them as redwoods I think, from the links from a site. I wonder if anyone has looked at them for commercial viability . . . if they grow fast or have attractive wood they could make a huge comeback with the logging companies planting them. Looks like they would be easy to log and strip.
If they’re like Tamaracs, they grow in very marshy environments.
Tamaracs around Northern Wisconsin were harvested for pilings, the wood is extremely resistant to rot. It dries hard and burns hot. You can’t drive a nail in it, unless it’s still green.
We would get to them using winter roads, kinda like the ice road truckers, when the swamps were frozen.
