Metasequoia g. 'Miss Grace' #6

Metasequoia glyptostroboides ‘Miss Grace’ is the first Metasequoia cultivar with strongly weeping branches. This gorgeous plant makes a superb living sculpture when it is staked up so the branches drape freely. The tree’s small needles and thin branches resemble those of the species Taxodium (Bald Cypress), but with opposite, not alternate, buds and needles. Foliage turns yellow, orange and red in autumn. When this deciduous conifer drops its foliage, the peeling bark and swooping framework supply winter interest. Stake it to desired height. Grows in full sun. Hardy to Zone 5
