## Description

The Pond Cypress Tree is very similar to the Bald Cypress, except that it has finer foliage, thicker bark and is always found growing in non-flowing bodies of water. These trees maintain a desirable straight trunk and develop thick calipers towards the base, even on younger trees. Our Pond Cypress trees for sale are a relatively maintenance-free tree requiring minimal pruning only to remove lower dead branches. The cypress will grow 50 to 60 feet tall with 10 to 15 feet spread and prefers to be planted in wet, poorly drained, acidic soil.
