Miss Grace Dawn Redwood

Metasequoia glyptostroboides ‘Miss Grace’

NULL

Deciduous conifer. A much less aggressive growing selection, almost semi dwarf when considering the size of the species. It has an elegantly structured pendulous branching that will gain some height over time, with age it will spread at the base creating a pyramid shape, the shape will vary somewhat depending on how it is trained.

One of the best aspects of this genus is the soft feathery fern-like green leaves, turning a bronze red in autumn. The ornamental fruit is a 1” long soft green cylindrical cone born at the branch ends, turning dark brown at maturity.

This close relative of Taxodium is currently a very popular genus, but until the 1940’s it was only found in the fossil record. All the progeny in the trade today derived from distributed seeds collected from a natural stand near Modaoqui, China. Follow the link below for further details. Harvard aroretum
