Bald Cypress flourishes in a wide range of zones once established, and a wide range of wet soil types. Therefore this species of conifer is great for planting around ponds and water features, or anywhere the mud wants to suck your boots off.
Although known as a southern species, Bald Cypress seedlings can do well in northern locations once properly established. Younger seedlings are susceptible to unseasonal cold snaps, but more mature and established specimens become quite tolerant of wintery conditions. Often the tree appears dead due to frost/freeze damage or drought, but bounces back if given a chance.
Bald Cypress seedlings often attract waterfowl and amphibians at maturity because of its preference for wet locations. Also, many animals are attracted to its nutritious seeds. Bald eagles and ospreys are often seen nesting in Bald Cypress treetops. In southern states one often finds Spanish moss hanging from the branches.
