A very interesting broom, found by accident while looking at
another larger broom, with 'Tree Hugger' being much better
quality. This broom wraps tight around the tree, about 12' above
the ground. Annual growth is 1/2"-1.5", quickly forming a thick
stem. Horky text.

Metasequoia glyptostroboides ‘Bonsai’
A dwarf miniature conifer with soft, short green needles. Fall color is vivid yellow. From seedling origin it can grow as a low spreading bush, or can be staked to form a small weeping tree. The original plant is growing at the Morris Arboretum, a gift from the late John Kuser. Prefers sun/partial shade in well-drained soil. If grown natural, 1' tall x 3' wide in 10 years. Hardy to -20 degrees. USDA zone 5. Buchholz text.
‘Bonsai’ (Kuser et al., 1997; J. Kuser, personal communication, 2001): This tree is a dwarf weeping cultivar with some bluish-green leaves. This tree grew approximately 50 cm in height and 65 cm in width over 4 years. John Kuser of Rutgers University and A. Bonville of Rutgers University selected this variant among the seedlings that were planted at the Ryder’s Lane Plantation at Rutgers University in 1992. The seedlots were obtained from 47 new parent trees from Hubei, Hunan and Sichuan Provinces, China. The original tree is growing at the Morris Arboretum, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Intense, golden-yellow, feathery foliage makes this striking, new cultivar easily recognizable. 'Gold Rush' is deciduous and has the same handsome habit and horizontal branches as the species. Full sun produces best color, though partial shade is recommended in warmer summer climates. Known in Japan as 'Ogon', the tree was renamed by Dutch nurseryman Pieter Zwijnenburg Jr. before its introduction into European markets in 1993. Iseli text.

Metasequoia glyptostroboides ‘Jack Frost’
A fast growing deciduous conifer. The bright green foliage is 'frosted' with white variegation. Prefers full sun in well-drained soil. 12' tall x 5' wide in 10 years. Hardy to -20 degrees. USDA zone 5. Discovered and introduced by the Flora Wonder(tm) Collection of Buchholz Nursery. Buchholz text.
‘Jack Frost’ (T. Buchholz, personal communication, 2002): This tree was found in 1989 in a group of 2 year-old seedlings and introduced by Bucholz & Bucholz, Oregon, USA. It roots easily from summer or winter cuttings. The tree appears to be slower growing and more compact than typical M. glyptostroboides. Although vigorous when young, the original tree is was only 15 feet tall and 9 feet wide after 15 years of age. A creamy-white frost is present on the upper surfaces of the leaves and is most noticeable from above because the variegation can be lost in the sky when looking up at an older tree.

Metasequoia glyptostroboides ‘Miss Grace’
A small, deciduous conifer with gracefully-weeping branches. Refined gray-green foliage in summer, strong orange in autumn. Prefers sun/partial shade in well-drained soil. If staked, 8' tall x 3' wide in 10 years. Hardy to -20 degrees. USDA zone 5. Introduced by the Flora Wonder(tm) Collection of Buchholz Nursery. Buchholz text.
An unusual form of the Dawn Redwood with strongly pendulous branches enhanced by soft, feathery, small bright green, deciduous foliage which turns orange-brown in fall. Produces a narrow small tree excellent as an accent or specimen. Miss Grace is a name for the selection's graceful habit. ACS text.
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, but with opposite, not alternate, buds and needles. When the deciduous conifer drops its foliage, the peeling bark and swooping framework supply winter interest. Discovered as a witch's broom in New York, it was introduced by Buchholz & Buchholz Nursery, in Gaston, Oregon. Iseli text.
‘Miss Grace’ (T. Buchholz, personal communication, 2002): This tree is a slow-growing weeping form with small needles. It was previously known as ‘Semi-prostrata W.B.’, which is an invalid name. Its growth is not vigorous and supposedly obtained with material from a witch’s broom. It was recently introduced by Buchholz & Buchholz Nursery, Oregon, USA and should be compared to ‘Bonsai’.
