Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum) – Florida Native – 3 & 30 Gallon
Long-Lived Shade Tree | Wetland Champion | Adaptable and Majestic

Bald Cypress is a stately, deciduous conifer native to Florida’s swamps, riverbanks, and floodplains. Known for its soft, feathery foliage and distinctive flared trunk base, this tree thrives in wet conditions but is surprisingly adaptable to drier sites once established. It’s ideal for rain gardens, pond edges, and large-scale restoration or landscape projects where durability and beauty are equally important.

Available in both 3 and 30 Gallon sizes.

USDA Growing Zones

Zone 5–10

Sun Requirements

Performs best in full sun, which supports strong trunk development and vibrant foliage growth.

Planting Instructions

Select a spot with plenty of space for vertical growth and root spread.
Dig a hole twice as wide and just as deep as the root ball.
Place the tree at the same depth as it was in the container, backfill with native soil, and water thoroughly.
Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch, keeping it several inches away from the trunk.

Soil Requirements

Grows well in moist, wet, or even standing water, but also tolerates drier soils once mature. Prefers acidic to neutral soil, including sand, clay, or loam.

Fertilizer

Typically does not require fertilization in native or wetland soils. In poor soils, a light application of balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring can support early growth.

Watering

Requires frequent watering during establishment, especially in drier conditions.
Once established, Bald Cypress is extremely tolerant of wet conditions and also handles temporary drought.
Ideal for planting in or near ponds, ditches, retention areas, or flood-prone landscapes.

Pruning

Minimal pruning needed.
Prune in late winter to remove any broken, crossing, or weak branches.
Allow natural, upright form to develop undisturbed for best shape and strength.

What Makes It Thrive

Planted in full sun with access to moisture
Consistent watering during the first year
Moist or wet soils with low competition
Native ecosystems, rain gardens, or restoration zones

Bald Cypress brings timeless structure and native resilience to any landscape. Whether planted in a wetland buffer or a residential setting with irrigation, it grows into a bold, long-lived tree that supports wildlife, water filtration, and soil stabilization. A true Florida native performer, now available in 3 and 30-gallon sizes.
