Summer leafing Cypress
From LoveToKnow Garden
Summer-leafing Cypress (Taxodium) - T. distichum is a beautiful and stately tree attaining in its own country a height of 150 feet. In England it is of proved hardiness, though neglected since the advent of Californian and other half-hardy conifers. A native of marshy places, it is best planted in like situations in England. From the roots of old trees its curious excrescences arise in the shape of great bald knobs 3 or 4 feet high. A tree of such beauty should be grouped wherever water enters into the home landscape, the fresh green of the leaves being a welcome gain. There is a pendulous form, but any other so-called varieties are better let alone. Secure healthy young plants from seed only.
