Metasequoia glyptostroboides 'Miss Grace' The RHS Award of Garden Merit (AGM) helps gardeners choose the best plants for their garden. The tree’s small needles and thin branches resemble those of the species Taxodium, but with opposite, not alternate, buds and needles. This gorgeous plant makes a superb living sculpture when it is staked up so the branches drape freely. Hand grafted and propagated at Lime Cross Nursery Metasequoia glyptostroboides ‘Miss Grace’ is the first Metasequoia cultivar with strongly weeping branches. Metasequoia is important in the Cupressaceae family because it links the alternating pair leaf arrangement of the Cypresses and Junipers with the needle-like leaves of the Redwoods. Metasequoia are large deciduous conifer trees with reddish-brown fibrous bark and soft, pale green linear leaves arranged in two ranks on the shoots, colouring beautifully in autumn. A genus widely distributed in the northern hemisphere, first discovered in 1945.
