Taxodium distichum, commonly known as Bald Cypress or Swamp Cypress, is a majestic deciduous conifer native to the southeastern United States. With its stately form, feathery foliage, and iconic buttressed trunk, it adds grandeur to wetland habitats and landscapes. The Bald Cypress is well-adapted to wet soils and is often found in swamps, marshes, and along riverbanks. In autumn, its needles turn a rich coppery-orange, creating a breathtaking seasonal display. This versatile tree is also valued for its timber, rot-resistant wood, and ecological importance as a habitat for various wildlife species.
