Pond cypress is a deciduous conifer that typically grows 30-70 feet tall with spreading branches, ascending branchlets and a cylindrical crown that flattens with age. It is native to coastal areas from Virginia to Louisiana where it is most often seen in still water locations such as shallow pond and lake peripheries, wet depressions and non-riverine swamps. It is very similar to bald cypress, but generally grows slightly smaller and features awl like green leaves whose spirally arranged needles are adpressed (pressed against the stem). Attractive orange-brown fall color. This tree tolerates a variety of soils ranging from wet soils near water to average garden soils where it may used as a landscape or street tree. Height: 30 to 70 feet and spread: 15 to 20 feet |
