Sometimes called Red, Yellow, Swamp, or Gulf Cypress, this is a large, slow-growing, long-lived tree that typically grows 50 to 75 feet tall in full sun and moist to wet soils. It produces round, purplish-green cones that become brown when mature, and its soft, feathery, yellowish-green foliage turns a beautiful orange or cinnamon-brown in the fall. Though native to swamp habitats, where it is recognizable by its multiple wooden "knees," the Bald-Cypress also grows surprisingly well in drier conditions.
