Bald Cypress
Taxodium
distichum
| Bald Cypress, Taxodium
distichum, is a very tough deciduous conifer. Its pale green, fern-like
foliage changes to orange-brown in fall before shedding. If planted
close to water, Bald Cypress roots can arise out of water to form
"knees." Bald Cypress is great for wet areas and remains a good urban
tree. It is native to the southeastern, south central United States.
It is exceptionally wind firm and stands tall in trying weather. Bald
Cypress makes an excellent reforestation and timber tree and is known to
live for centuries under the right conditions. With this in mind, it is
a perfect candidate for reforestation programs such as the USDA
Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and programs sponsored by the
EPA. | |
