Bald Cypress

The Bald Cypress (like the Japanese Larch and the Dawn Redwood) is an unusual tree in that it is a deciduous conifer, which is a tree that bears cones, but loses its needles in winter. The Redwoods and the Bald Cypress are native to North America. In nature, the Bald Cypress are found mostly in the south eastern United States and Mexico.

The common name "Bald Cypress" was given to them because of their deciduous character, which is very unusual in conifers. The common bald cypress (Taxodium Distichum) forms dense forests in the southeastern swamplands and is commonly found in the Everglades. In swampy areas, they produces growths called "knees" which project upward from the root system. The knees grow above the high water line so that the roots can get air while they are below water.

Bald Cypress can be grown in areas where the winter low temperature goes to 20 below zero, and also in areas where the winter low temperature never reaches freezing. For that reason we list them in both categories.
