Taxodium Distichum - Swamp Cypress

Taxodium Distichum - Swamp Cypress

This is an upright, conical, monoecious, deciduous or semi-evergreen coniferous tree found in swampy forest or by river margins from SE USA to Guatemala.

In its native habitat it can reach heights of 20-40 metres. Though often found growing in wet, swampy soils, the Swamp Cypress also grows well in relatively dry soils.

In wet soil conditions, Swamp Cypress develop aerial roots known as 'knees' or pneumatophores at water level.
