香川県の高松空港近くにあるメタセコイア並木の紅葉。300m近く、三角形の美しい黄緑から黄色のグラデーションが連なります。11月上旬になると黄葉がはじまり、11月中旬が見頃。

Rows of Metasequoia trees continue for 300 meters along Prefectural Road 45, facing the Sanuki Airport Park. Metasequoia trees feature a beautiful triangular shape, similar to a pointy hat. The delicate leaves are like fine feathers and start to turn yellow in early November. They look like yellow lace spreading skyward.

Metasequoia glyptostroboides
In 1941, the genus Metasequoia was reported by paleobotanist Shigeru Miki (born at Miki town, Kagawa pref., Japan)as a widely distributed extinct genus based on fossils, before attracting considerable attention a few years later when small populations were found alive in central China. It is a particularly well-known example of a living fossil species.
