Bald Cypress
Adapting to a wide range of soils, Bald Cypress trees are not only beautiful, but hardy. Their needles add a soft decorative look to any landscape and turn a flaming red color in the fall. Famously known for living in southern swamps, where the root ‘knees’ sprout when submerged in water, this tree adds a romantic touch to ponds, acreage, around your home, and wherever you should choose to plant. Additionally, Bald Cypress grow moderately fast, adding 1-2 feet each year, and support a variety of wildlife.
