Taxodium distichum

Bald Cypress

Perfect for swampy areas, they are among the few trees that tolerate constantly wet roots. Deciduous or evergreen, these conical or columnar trees reach 50 to 80 feet tall. Most require acid soil, and tolerate colder and drier climates. Bear sprays of needlelike feathery foliage and scented cones. Prune dead or unwanted branches.

This cone-shaped tree spreads with age. Its soft needlelike foliage is yellow-green in spring, dark green in summer and rusty red. The small cones and fibrous reddish brown bark add winter interest.
