Dawn Redwood ‘Miss Grace’ – Weeping Dwarf Metasequoia | Rare Deciduous Conifer | #1 Container Size | Collector Tree for Zones 5–9

Add prehistoric beauty and graceful elegance to your landscape with this live Dawn Redwood ‘Miss Grace’ (Metasequoia glyptostroboides ‘Miss Grace’), a rare dwarf weeping selection of one of the world’s oldest tree species. Originally discovered as a witch’s broom mutation in New York and later introduced by Buchholtz Nursery, ‘Miss Grace’ is prized for its unique cascading habit and compact size. This deciduous conifer produces soft feathery lime-green foliage in spring that matures to rich green through summer before transforming into glowing orange-yellow tones in autumn. In winter, the elegant branching structure and peeling red-brown bark provide beautiful architectural interest. Without staking, the tree forms a graceful mounding shape; with staking, it develops into a dramatic upright specimen with pendulous weeping branches. Perfect for conifer gardens, patios, ponds, rock gardens, and collector landscapes, this rare cultivar offers year-round beauty and fascinating horticultural history. You will receive a healthy live tree similar in size and condition to the one shown in the listing photos.
