Taxodium distichum
The bald cypress is a deciduous conifer known for its adaptability to various soil types, including wet, salty, dry, and swampy conditions. It is native to the southeastern United States and is valued for its rot-resistant heartwood, making it suitable for various construction materials. The tree typically grows to heights of 35–120 feet (10–40 m) and has a trunk diameter of 3–7 feet (0.9–2.1 m). The bark is grayish-brown to reddish-brown, thin, and fibrous with a stringy texture. The needle-like leaves are 1/2 to 3/4 inch (1.3 to 1.9 cm) long, green, and linear with entire margins, turning yellow or copper red in autumn. The tree produces cones in April, and the seeds ripen in October.
