It is a living fossil under which dinosaurs walked: Metasequoia (also Chinese redwood). It was discovered as a living specimen in China in the 1940s. Just ten years later, the island of Mainau received its first specimen, measuring around 30 cm in size, from the Royal Botanical Gardens "Kew Gardens" in Richmond, Great Britain. The fact that the tree immediately felt at home in its new home on the flower island is shown by the 51 metasequoias that grew from cuttings of the mother tree.
