Taxodium distichum
Description
The Bald Cypress is a deciduous conifer known for its majestic, pyramidal shape and unique ability to thrive in wet conditions. It features feathery, needle-like leaves that turn a beautiful russet color in the fall before shedding for the winter. This tree is often found in swampy areas and is notable for its "knees," which are woody projections that emerge from the roots.
Suggested Uses
Ideal for large landscapes, parks, and as a specimen tree in areas with ample space. It is also suitable for planting near water bodies due to its tolerance of wet conditions.
