A deciduous conifer that grows up to 80 feet tall in full sun and moist soils, Pond Cypress has a smaller, more columnar form and often fewer and smaller "knees" than the very closely related Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum). This species also differs from its close relative in its preferred habitat of blackwater rivers, ponds, and swamps; it rarely grows along flowing streams. Its bright green foliage turns a vivid orange-brown in the fall.
