Baldcypress
Taxodium distichum
•Majestic Orange-Red Fall Color
•Great Urban Tree
•Pale Green, Semi-Evergreen Leaves
•Zones 4 to 10
•50' to 70' High by 25' Wide
The Baldcypress tree is the classic tree of southern swamps. There, in its native habitat, it displays a peculiar habit of raising conical "knees" from its roots. The function of these growths is something of a mystery, although some believe it is a way to help the roots get oxygen. This tree dwells in swamps because it out-competes most other trees on such sites. To the surprise of some people, when the Baldcypress is planted on the right soil in yards or along streets, it does quite well and is a beautiful specimen tree.
