Taxodium distichum

1 / 7

Common name: Bald Cypress

Family: Cupressaceae (Cypress family)

Distribution: North America

IUCN Red list: Least concern

Life form: Tree

Comments: The bald cypress is one of only five conifers that lose their leaves in the fall, hence the name ʺbald.ʺ The soft, needle-like foliage will turn golden-brown to cinnamon-colored before dropping. In their native range, bald cypress grow in wetlands but are tolerant of a wide range of soils in cultivation, including well-drained. In wet soils they often produce woody growths referred to as "knees" that stick straight up out of the soil from the root system.
