It is slender and conical in youth, becoming flat-topped in very old age. Sage-green, bipinnately compound leaves, which look more like feathers than needles, turn copper before falling. A tapering trunk is slightly buttressed at the swollen base. Exfoliating bark is red-brown to silver.  (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Gardens Plant Finder)

Description

Bald cypress is a majestic tree with soft, ferny foliage that enhances many landscapes. Enjoy the terra cotta hue of the foliage in the fall. The roots are not susceptible to suffocation making bald cypress a common candidate for parking lots. It is a deciduous conifer adaptable to wet or semi dry conditions. Does well in full sun. Bald refers to the deciduous nature uncommon among other conifers.  (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Gardens Plant Finder)
