This plant is a water feature favorite for TN Nursery staff and customers.  Other Common Names for Typha latifolia Most call this species cattails, but here are a few other (but less common) nicknames you might hear:  Broadleaf Cattail Bulrush Cat-O'-Nine-Tails Common Cattail  Cattail Plants Provide Classic Beauty to a Water Garden or Koi Pond  Typha latifolia has a grassy appearance--tall, emerald green, lance-shaped leaves with a narrow, well-defined tip. They can measure up to eight feet tall, with an above-water presence of around three to four feet.  The plant develops tall, prominent spikes that display the most familiar feature that makes this plant so famous--its brown or copper-toned cylindrical flower, a water garden classic.  The cattail plant spreads through a vigorous underground root system. Many gardeners who want just a few for ornamental use will plant them in containers, then submerge them in about three feet of water to control the growth.

You'll also need to water the sapling as necessary, especially during the hottest and driest summer days. Once your pecan tree is off to a healthy start, you will do little else. An established pecan tree is drought tolerant and will even thrive through dry spells. A young, healthy specimen should grow relatively quickly at a pace of one to two feet per year. Around year six, you will begin the reap the reward of an abundance of pecans. The pecan tree is hardy and can live for as long as three hundred years.
