Native to wetlands along running streams, the Bald Cypress is a moderately fast-growing tree that can be a beautiful addition to any property. When mature, Bald Cypresses develop into a broad-topped, spreading, open specimen. These trees can grow to be 100-150 feet in height, and can reach 40-50 feet in 15-25 years. Although they are native to wetlands, they tend to grow quicker in moist, well-drained soils. The flowers and fruit are not showy sights. The flowers are brown and droopy, the rounded fruits are green then brown in maturity. Some birds and squirrels can be attracted to the fruit. The real showstopper for the Bald Cypress is the deciduous leaves. In the spring and summer, they are a pretty green, in the fall the transform into a vibrant copper.
