Miss Grace' is the first dawn redwood with pendulous branches. This truly outstanding introduction has gracefully weeping branches with delicate, soft, lime-green foliage that emerges in spring. In the summer, the needles progress to a medium green. Later in the fall, they turn to bright orange-yellow. The beautiful peeling bark adds winter interest.  If staked, it can be rather tall and narrow. Left unstaked, it will form a billowing, low pyramid. It's a fast grower, about 9″-12″ per year, attaining a height and width of 8′ × 3′ in 10 years. Its best color is in full sun, but it will tolerate partial shade. Very tolerant of moist soils. Prefers moist, acidic, well-draining soil. Resistant to deer and is a great nesting place or birds. Dwarf deciduous tree.
