| Pseudotsuga menziesii 'Graceful Grace' |
Vigorous, sturdy branches drape uniformly from each whorl of this, compact weeping tree. Its long, dark-green needles, highlighted with an interesting, glaucous cast, radiate outward around the stems and create a lush, full appearance. The dependable, hardy plant, found by Albert Ziegler about 1969 in York County, PA, was named for his wife Grace. The original tree, which was planted at Masonic Homes, was destroyed in 2002, but a replacement has been planted there in Albert's memory by his two sons and grandson. |
