Its feathery, soft-green needles emerge in spring with an almost luminous freshness, deepen through summer, then transform into a stunning coppery-russet in fall before dropping to reveal a striking, buttressed trunk and elegant silhouette. Ancient, adaptable, and deeply resilient, the Bald Cypress thrives where few trees dare to grow — and brings timeless beauty to any landscape it inhabits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlant Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eTaxodium distichum\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bald Cypress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50–70 ft with a narrow, pyramidal form that broadens with age\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–8 ft tall at time of purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContainer Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e #7 (7-gallon pot)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate to fast — typically 2–3 ft per year under ideal conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Conditions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun; thrives with maximum light exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Highly adaptable; tolerates standing water, wet soils, clay, and even dry upland conditions once established — one of the most soil-tolerant trees available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to high; equally at home in swamps, rain gardens, and average garden soils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very low — naturally self-sufficient; note that \"knees\" (woody root projections) may develop in wet soils, which is a normal and fascinating characteristic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLandscape Uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn exceptional specimen tree for a wide range of landscape settings — from wet, low-lying areas and rain gardens to average residential lots. Its narrow, pyramidal form makes it suitable for tighter spaces than many large native trees. The Bald Cypress provides nesting habitat for osprey and herons, and its seeds are eaten by wood ducks and other waterfowl. A tree with deep roots in American natural history, it can live for hundreds — even thousands — of years, making it a true legacy planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlant arrives in a 7-gallon container at 5–8 ft in height, ready to transplant into your landscape.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"String and Petals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45059552837832,"sku":"23426","price":129.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/stringandpetals.com\/products\/bald-cypress-taxodium-distichum-7-container","provider":"String and Petals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
