About
Pond Cypress Trees: The Pond Cypress species, often
confused with Bald Cypress, is smaller than the Bald Cypress. The
bark is grayish to reddish brown and is usually deeply furrowed. Its
occurrence is usually on wet sites, primarily on sandy pond or lake
margins, and thus its name. The Pond Cypress also can live on sandy
floodplains, as does the common Bald Cypress.

The
Pond Cypress prefers wet swampy areas, but can also tolerate high
dry sites. Being narrower in size than the Bald Cypress gives it
more flexibility in use. Could make a good street tree. Is very
wind firm; hurricane force winds rarely ever turn them over. A very
adaptable tree.
