Bald cypress
Taxodium distichum
We are not providing this tree at this time but it may be available for purchase from local nurseries.
This unusual deciduous conifer provides nice fall color before going bare in the winter. While known for its tolerance of wet soil, it also tolerates drought well when mature. In wet conditions, cypress “knees” may form at the base of the tree.
