🌲 Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum) – Florida Native | Long-Lived Shade Tree

Wetland Champion & Majestic Shade Tree

The Bald Cypress is a legendary Florida native tree known for its towering form, soft feathery foliage, and distinctive flared trunk base. Naturally found in swamps, riverbanks, and floodplains, this resilient deciduous conifer thrives in wet conditions but also adapts well to drier landscapes once established.

Perfect for rain gardens, pond edges, restoration projects, and large landscape plantings, Bald Cypress delivers unmatched durability and timeless beauty.
