Thanks to all who responded. I've been doing some reading on it. I have
eliminated Dawn Redwood and the Pseudelarix. The books say that Tamarack
and Hackmatack are names for the same species of American Larch. From the
pictures, especially of the needles, I would be inclined to the
Baldcypress, but there is a big problem: they are described as Deep
South, swamp trees, and these are growing on perfectly dry ground in a
climate that gets subzero in winter, and doesn't seem to suffer from
either. Is anyone else growing this outside the South?
