Discover the magnificent Taxodium distichum, commonly known as Bald Cypress or Swamp Cypress, an extraordinary conifer native to the southeastern United States. This versatile tree thrives in diverse conditions, flourishing in both wet soils and shallow water, and growing even faster in standard unflooded soils. It can endure standing water up to 2 ft deep, developing fascinating ‘knees’—cone-shaped root structures that emerge above ground, adding a unique charm. With an impressive tolerance to alkaline, saline soils, and atmospheric pollution, Bald Cypress proves resilient in various landscapes.

Renowned for its rapid growth rate, this deciduous tree reaches heights of 60 to 80 feet, showcasing a stunning rust fall color. It features alternate leaves with a fine texture and fibrous bark. Ideal for clumps near water, this tree's monoecious flowers are wind-pollinated, with seeds ripening in October. Highly adaptable, it grows in light to no shade and prefers moist or wet environments. Let the Bald Cypress transform your landscape with its distinctive beauty and robust nature.
