3 Bald Cypress Tree (Taxodium distichum) – Available as Bare Root or Potted

Description: 3 Bald Cypress Tree (Taxodium distichum) – Available as Bare Root or Potted Description: The Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum) is a deciduous conifer native to the Mississippi Valley, Gulf Coast, and extending from the Florida Everglades to Maryland. Although commonly associated with southern swamps, this adaptable tree thrives as far north as Illinois and in the dry landscapes of Texas, performing well in USDA zones 4-9. It grows best in acidic soil with good drainage that also retains moisture and requires regular watering. The Bald Cypress is highly tolerant of wet, swampy conditions where many other trees cannot survive, making it a perfect choice for wet areas. It’s also an attractive option for streets, yards, or as a bonsai specimen. This tree sheds its needles in fall and winter, while in spring and summer, the needle colors range from yellow-green to deep green, turning a rich orangish-brown in autumn. The Bald Cypress forms a striking pyramidal shape, reaching heights of 50 to 100 feet and spreading about 25 feet wide. When grown in wet environments, it develops unique "cypress knees," which are specialized root structures that add to its charm. Care Instructions: Plant in acidic, well-draining soil that retains moisture for best results. The Bald Cypress requires consistent watering, especially during dry spells, and can tolerate both very wet and occasionally dry conditions. It’s an ideal choice for areas with poor drainage, as it thrives in soils that other trees might struggle in. During the growing season, maintain a regular irrigation schedule, particularly if planted in drier areas, to support healthy growth.
