Bald Cypress Tree is a lofty deciduous conifer of slender pyramidal habit. Bald Cypress Tree displays rather attractive reddish brown fibrous bark. Bald cypress is used as a specimen or in small groves, particularly in wet areas and as a street tree. Makes dense screening and windbreak plant. Unusual and interesting tree often growing over 100 ft. in height.
Broad topped in the wild, but young and middle-aged trees are pyramidal. Twenty feet wide. Looks like an evergreen but is actually a deciduous tree and drops its leaves in the fall. Foliage is lacey and yellow-green, turning golden brown and then red before falling. Brown fibrous bark similar to that of cedars. Bald Cypress Tree has moderate water requirements, and a moderate tolerance for salt and alkali soils.
Good shade in summer and allows full sunlight after leaf fall in winter. No flowers, insignificant fruit. The wood of the bald cypress is fairly durable and has many uses in outdoor construction.
Bare root seedlings shipping at 1 to 2 foot tall.
