    Liberally speckled with creamy-white throughout its canopy, this lovely small tree eventually reaches 20-30', the white speckles are somewhat subtle, to get the most out of this tree plant it in the foreground with a darker backdrop, a very unusual variegated conifer in that it does not burn in the sun; like other dawn redwoods it becomes a pretty orange-brown in fall.
