Baldcypress – 1 Live Deciduous Conifer Tree, 3-Gallon Size – Taxodium distichum

Baldcypress (Taxodium distichum) is a distinctive deciduous conifer native to the southeastern United States. Unlike most conifers, it sheds its soft, needle-like foliage in autumn. Its feathery green leaves, attractive branching structure, and seasonal color make it a valuable ornamental tree for spacious landscapes and naturalized settings.

During the growing season, Baldcypress displays fine-textured, bright green foliage that turns warm copper, rust, or reddish-brown before falling in autumn. Its trunk develops textured bark as the tree ages. In consistently wet environments, Baldcypress may also develop woody root projections known as cypress knees, although their formation varies with site conditions.

Baldcypress is especially well suited to moist landscapes, pond margins, rain gardens, and areas with periodically saturated soil. It grows in full sun and adapts to a range of soil types, including clay and loam. Although it tolerates wet ground exceptionally well, established trees can also adapt to moderately dry landscape conditions.

This listing includes 1 live Baldcypress tree in the 3-gallon size category, with a seller-provided measurement of 36 inches. The measurement type has not been specified and is not confirmed as the tree's shipping height.
