Taxodium - Bald Cypress 
TAXODIUM distichum. The great lumber 
tree of the far South, but perfectly at 
home here. Will grow in dry or wet soil 
and blends well in either deciduous or 
evergreen plantings. The light 
foliage is needle-like, the general shape 
of the tree resembles a Spruce. Slow 
growing, but very symmetrical and as 
durable as an Oak; in fact, the lumber 
is called the ‘‘wood eternal.”
