Bald Cypress

Bald Cypress Trees for Sale Online

Bald Cypress Trees are deciduous conifers typically used as specimens or planted in small groves, particularly in wet soils. This is why they are often called Swamp Cypress.

Bald Cypress Trees (Taxodium distichum) make beautiful, dense screening and windbreak trees and have terrific fall colors of reddish-browns through orange. It is this vibrant fall color that brings this iconic tree yet another nickname: the Tidewater Red Cypress.

Bald Cypress Trees are long-lived wetland monarchs. They are an incredibly important component of floodplains, sloughs, swamps, or anywhere else that remains too wet for most other trees. These trees can often be seen in the swamps, where they are typically covered in Spanish moss. 

Wood from mature Bald Cypress Trees is highly valuable due to its ability to withstand the elements. Because of this, it has spurned an industry of “recyclers” who salvage lumber from old buildings or sinker logs from waterways to put it back to use. These recyclers most frequently salvage Bald Cypress Tree wood along with its close cousin, the White Cypress Tree.

 Bald Cypress Trees' popularity as landscape specimens has proven their tolerance to colder and drier conditions than their natural range indicates. If you're on the hunt for a strong, hearty tree to make a statement in the landscape, the Bald Cypress will surely get the job done!
