Braintree - Marshalls Park (Essex)

Marshalls Park holds this example of Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides). Curiously though, although it has a typical, well-formed profile from one direction, viewed from the side it appears to be rather lacking in branches. Perhaps there were once other trees nearby.
