Taxodium distichum 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.<\/p>\n

\"bald<\/a>
Bald Cypress seedlings, approx 14-24″ tall [photo is no longer accurate]<\/figcaption><\/figure>This highly water tolerant species can minimize the effects of flooding by holding the soil in place when submerged. If grown in a frequently submerged location, the side roots often develop as knees to provide additional support for the tree. This feature provides the added benefit of even better erosion control.<\/p>\n

Although known as a southern species, they 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.<\/p>\n

Taxodium distichum 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 the treetops, and southern states one often finds Spanish moss hanging from the branches.<\/p>\n
