Landscape Uses and Maintenance - Bald Cypress Tree

The Bald Cypress Tree is a stately deciduous conifer with reddish bark that grows in a pyramidal habit. This tree is native to southeastern parts of the United States. It produces small cones that drop out seeds to the ground below.

This is a low-maintenance tree that requires little effort once well established in your garden. While it looks like your standard evergreen, this tree is a deciduous conifer and will lose its soft green needles in the winter months.

This tree prefers to be planted in a location with well-draining, acidic soil. It can tolerate different soils, including very wet or occasionally flooded soils. It can also tolerate some salt in the soil. Avoid planting in alkaline soils; this can lead to chlorosis.

Are you having deer problems? This is a deer-resistant tree. Protect it while it is young and vulnerable to damage from browsing and deer rub.

Birds, mammals, and butterflies, oh my! This tree will attract plenty of wildlife. Birds will eat its seeds and use its branches for shelter.

Noteworthy Characteristics of Bald Cypress Tree

How to Grow and Care for Bare Root Trees

Bare root trees are shipped dormant without soil, making them lightweight, cost-effective, and easy to plant during the cool months of early spring or fall. To begin, soak the roots in a bucket of water for 4–6 hours before planting to rehydrate them. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil and ample space for the tree’s mature size.

Dig a hole twice as wide as the spread of the roots and deep enough to keep the root flare (where the roots begin to spread from the trunk) at or slightly above ground level. Create a small mound of soil in the center of the hole, spread the roots evenly over it, backfill with native soil, and gently tamp down to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting.

Keep the soil consistently moist (not soggy) during the first growing season, and apply mulch around the base—avoiding direct contact with the trunk—to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Stake the tree if necessary, and prune only to remove dead or damaged branches. With proper care, your bare root tree will establish quickly and grow strong for years to come.
