  2. ABOUT The Metasequoia Glyptostroboides 'Miss Grace,' also known as the Dawn Redwood, is a graceful and elegant tree that adds an air of sophistication to any landscape. With its weeping branches, soft gray-green foliage, and sculptural form, this tree stands out as an exceptional choice for gardeners and landscape enthusiasts. Its unique features make it a focal point in gardens, parks, and larger landscapes, offering year-round beauty with minimal maintenance.

  3. BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DAWN REDWOOD The Metasequoia Glyptostroboides, often referred to simply as the Dawn Redwood, is a living fossil with a fascinating history. Though thought to be extinct for millions of years, it was rediscovered in China in the 1940s. Since then, it has gained popularity across the globe for its beauty, resilience, and historical significance. 'Miss Grace' is a special cultivar that enhances the classic appeal of the Dawn Redwood with its unique, weeping form and delicate foliage.

  4. DISTINCTIVE FEATURES OF 'MISS GRACE' 'Miss Grace' is known for its soft, feathery, gray-green foliage, which lends the tree a delicate appearance. The leaves are finely textured, adding a sense of movement and lightness to the landscape. The foliage emerges in the spring and remains vibrant throughout the summer, creating a lush, verdant display. What truly sets 'Miss Grace' apart, however, is its weeping growth habit. Unlike the upright form of the traditional Dawn Redwood, 'Miss Grace' has gracefully cascading branches that give it a distinct and sculptural silhouette. This weeping form makes it a perfect specimen tree, drawing attention with its flowing branches that create a sense of elegance and calm.

  5. SEASONAL INTEREST ALL YEAR ROUND One of the most appealing aspects of the 'Miss Grace' Dawn Redwood is its ability to provide year-round interest. In the spring and summer, the tree's soft, gray-green foliage creates a cool, calming presence in the garden. As autumn approaches, the foliage turns a warm golden-bronze, offering a striking contrast to the cooler tones of the summer. This seasonal transformation makes 'Miss Grace' a dynamic addition to any landscape. Even in winter, when the tree loses its leaves, 'Miss Grace' remains a standout. The tree’s sculptural form is fully revealed, showcasing its gracefully weeping branches. The reddish-brown bark adds warmth to the winter garden, making it a visual focal point even in the colder months.

  6. IDEAL GROWING CONDITIONS Metasequoia Glyptostroboides 'Miss Grace' thrives in a variety of conditions but performs best in USDA hardiness zones 4 through 8. It prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade, making it versatile in different garden settings. While it can adapt to various soil types, 'Miss Grace' prefers moist, well-drained soil. This tree is particularly well-suited for planting near water features such as ponds or streams, where its preference for moist soil can be fully realized.

  7. A LOW-MAINTENANCE BEAUTY For gardeners who want a striking tree without a lot of upkeep, 'Miss Grace' is an excellent choice. This Dawn Redwood cultivar is relatively low- maintenance, requiring little pruning to maintain its weeping form. It is also resistant to most pests and diseases, making it a reliable and resilient addition to the landscape. The tree’s rapid growth rate—up to 2 feet per year—ensures that it will quickly make an impact in your garden. Despite its fast growth, 'Miss Grace' does not become overwhelming in size, reaching a mature height of around 8 to 10 feet and a spread of 6 to 8 feet, making it suitable for smaller gardens or as a focal point in larger landscapes.

  8. LANDSCAPING IDEAS 'Miss Grace' is an excellent choice for a variety of landscape designs. Its graceful form makes it perfect as a specimen tree, where it can be showcased as the main focal point of a garden or yard. It also works well in group plantings or mixed borders, where its weeping branches can add texture and contrast to more upright plants. Additionally, 'Miss Grace' can be planted near water features or in rain gardens, where its preference for moist soil can be fully appreciated. Its ability to tolerate wetter conditions makes it a unique addition to areas that might not be suitable for other trees.
