Taxodium distichum or Swamp Cypress (baldcypress, bald-cypress, bald cypress, swamp cypress)
A deciduous coniferous tree 30-36 m high and a trunk diameter of 0.9-3 m and even up to 5 m. Although it looks like an evergreen conifer, in fact it is a deciduous plant with pleasant soft yellow needles. It grows moderately quickly in a dense pyramidal shape, reaching 2.5 m in height and 1.5 in width during the first 5-8 years. Flat, yellow-green needles grow in two rows along the branches, forming a texture reminiscent of a fern.
In autumn, before falling, the needles acquire a noble bronze-brown color. The bark is reddish-brown. Taxodia love moist soil, even swampy, so they are perfect for planting in gardens with heavy clay soil that retains moisture for a long time after rain.
Despite its moisture-loving nature, the plant tolerates light, short-term drought after rooting. The soil should be moderately acidic and acidic or neutral.
It should be planted in the sun or in partial shade. Well-rooted adult plants, if grown in very wet soils, will eventually form "breathing" (air) roots that look like inverted funnels and protrude above the ground - do not remove them.
