Bald Cypress





The large base of the tree and extensive root system stabilize the tree even in hurricane winds.

The tree can stand down to avg 0f minimum - 34F minimum this temp the seeds will not mature.

Usually successful Bald cypress trees will start in open areas. Threes will germinate in the under story but need releasing ( removal of over topped trees ) for quality growth.

Old growth Bald cypress wood is very resistant to rot. For this reason the wood is called “wood everlasting.” Fences boat planking garden boxes are a few of the uses of this wood. 2nd growth trees do not have this quality . The decay resistance in the heartwood is not there and it is not known what conditions this develops.


Psalm 103:5

"Who satisfies your years with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle."
