Bald Cypress is a landscape problem-solver that boasts feathery, yellowish-green foliage in Spring and summer. In fall, its leaves take on attractive orange and cinnamon brown shades. Although it looks like an evergreen tree during the Summer months, Bald Cypress is a deciduous tree that drops its leaves each fall.

The Bald Cypress is a beautiful, deciduous conifer that is low-maintenance once established. It has a narrow to broad pyramidal shape when young eventually developing into a broad-topped, spreading, open specimen when mature. The green, needle-like leaves turn a rich copper in the fall before dropping, but the bare branches and reddish gray, peeling bark provide much landscape interest during the winter. The trunk grows unusually thick toward the base, even on young trees. The small seeds are used by some birds and squirrels. Although often seen at water's edge where it will develop knees, or root projections, that will extend above the water, Bald Cypress can also be grown in dry locations and makes an attractive lawn, street, or shade tree. Cypress knees do not generally form on these drier sites. Growth is often faster in moist, well-drained soil. Surprisingly, the roots do not appear to lift sidewalks and curbs as readily as some other species. The Bald Cypress has a medium growth-rate reaching 40 ft. to 50 ft. in about 15-year to 25-years. It is hardy in Zones 4-10. It reaches a mature height of about 60-80 feet and a spread of 20 ft. - 25 ft. This tree is shipped in a #1 pot with an average height between 12 in. - 18 in.

Willow oak is a member of the red oak family with willow-shaped leaves. The fine foliage of the willow oak is 1 of its best ornamental features. The willow oak has excellent texture, rounded form, attractive bark and beautiful winter features. Widely used as a shade tree and for avenue plantings, the fast-growing willow oak can reach over 60 ft. H with more than a 30 ft. to 40 ft. spread. The pyramidal shape in youth gives way to a rounded canopy in middle and old age, with lower branches drooping toward the ground. The long, light green willow-like leaves create dense shade and a graceful effect turning bright yellow before they fall. It thrives in moist, well-drained, acidic soil and full sun. The willow oak will tolerate pollution and drought and is considered a trouble-free tree as long as soil pH is acidic. Willow oak has a fibrous root system and is therefore easy to transplant. It is hardy in USDA Zones 5-9 and is shipped in a #1 pot with an average tree height of 12 in. - 18 in.

The bald cypress tree from Flowerwood is a deciduous conifer that grows long branches and is often found in wetland areas. The name bald cypress comes from the fact that its flat needles give it a bald appearance. Each Fall, these needles turn a beautiful coppery bronze before dropping. They can also be great warning signals for the health of the tree. If your bald cypress starts turning copper in the Spring or Summer, this could be a sign of a thirsty or stressed tree. Bald Cypress can be planted near ponds, creeks or anywhere you need a large ornamental tree that wildlife love. Once established, it will require very little maintenance. The bald cypress is a slow grower but a creeping giant. At maturity, they can reach heights in excess of 65 ft. As they get larger, the trunks of the bald cypress flare and knobby roots protrude from the ground around it. Water regularly, mulch around the base of the tree and fertilize each Spring with a slow-release fertilizer to keep your tree growing strong and your needles green.

The classic sight of the Bald Cypress Tree in Southern waterways is more versatile than you might think Native to swampy areas, you can find this Cypress along slow-moving creeks, streams, and rivers. A key feature of these Bald Cypress trees is their "knees". These are knobby segments of the bald cypress root system which protrude above the water to provide oxygen and stability to the tree in these wet conditions. The bald cypress also makes for an excellent shade tree when planted near a porch or patio.

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 .Old trees develop a wide, spreading base that narrows up the trunk with diameters as thick as 3-6 ft. It is one of the longest living trees in the world and its rings hold years of climate data. Although it looks like a needled evergreen (same family as redwoods) in summer, it is deciduous ("bald" as the common name suggests).It is native to southern swamps, bayous and rivers, primarily being found in coastal areas from Maryland to Texas and in the lower Mississippi River valley to as far north as the southeast corner of Missouri. In the deep South, it is a familiar sight growing directly in swampy water, often in large stands, with its branches heavily draped with Spanish moss. In cultivation, however, it grows very well in drier, upland soils. The bald cypress is easily grown in average, medium to wet, moisture-retentive but reasonably well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. It prefers moist, acidic, sandy soils, but tolerates a wide range of soil conditions ranging from somewhat dry soils to wet soils in standing water.

The bald cypress also makes for an excellent shade tree when planted near a porch or patio. These trees grow naturally across the southern United States and have been seen in the drainage basin of the Mississippi Valley, along the Gulf coast, and coastal plains. Bald Cypress leaves have soft, feather-like foliage that is bright green and their shaggy bark is a grayish brown. You'll also find that they produce bald cypress fruit that is a small wrinkled ball looking "fruit" on the tree. This fruit is actually bald cypress tree nuts.
