Metasequoia glyptostroboides
I was quite skeptical when I purchased this, but the plant has made a believer of me. Very fine foliage densely covers this lovely variety. The needles are indeed quite blue to blue green, and the color holds quite well. This should become a standard by which others are judged. Delightful. Further thought. This blue is a bit comparable to the Fothergilla Blue Shadow. A great contrast to other rare plants grown on Maple Hill.
