Bald Cypress
Unique and adaptable deciduous conifer from the Southeastern U.S., Bald Cypress can withstand a range of soil conditions that very few plants can, from fairly dry to standing water and salty. A great plant for areas where nothing else will grow, and an intriguing looking conifer as well. Deciduous conifers are always appealing to us and this one is a quick and easy one to grow.
