The Bald Cypress Tree is an iconic Texas native that is virtually tailor-made for the Houston metro area. This large 45-gallon (45G) specimen provides immediate scale and shade. It is uniquely adapted to thrive in our heavy, wet clay soils where other trees might struggle, yet it remains surprisingly drought-tolerant once established. Its feathery green summer needles transform into a stunning cinnamon-copper hue before dropping in late autumn.
Exposure
Full Sun
Height x Width
50-70' Height x 20-30' Width
Water
High; loves moisture and is excellent for low-lying areas or bioswales.
Zones
4 - 10
Fertilization
Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring. Acidic fertilizer can help if leaves show yellowing (chlorosis) in high-pH soils.
Pruning
Minimal; only to remove dead wood or maintain a strong central leader.
