Comments:
This cypress grows mostly in very dry soils, not in the wet soils that the bald cypress will grow in. This cypress does not produce knees like the bald cypress. Needle drop is very late in the fall. This tree is a faster growing species than the bald cypress. This tree is worthy of much more use in upland landscapes.
