With a narrow pyramidal habit, bald cypress reaches a mature height of 50' to 70'. Its feathery green leaves are yellow-green in spring, a soft sage green in summer and finally a rich brown in fall. This large specimen deserves a place of prominence in the landscape. Another attractive feature is the reddish-brown bark. This is a characteristic species of swamps in the eastern states. When growing in water, old trees develop aerial projections of the roots called "knees". This stately deciduous conifer has one of the widest ranges of distribution, growing from Illinois all the way to Florida. Lovely pyramidal deciduous conifer that also can be grown as a bonsai.
