Taxodium distichum 'Falling Waters'

Falling Waters Weeping Bald Cypress

Falling Waters Bald Cypress is a long-lived slow-growing native deciduous conifer tree  with weeping branches and a buttressed trunk.  The soft, feathery-like light green needle foliage completely cover the trunk and turn an attractive cinnamon orange-brown in fall.   Grows best in full sun and moist to wet acidic soil.   Falling Waters has a true weeping form and will only grow as tall as it is staked - otherwise it will cascade.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low Maintenance.  Yellowing can be a problem in alkaline soils.  Twig blight, bagworms, and mites are occasional problems. 
LANDSCAPE USES:  Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Shade Tree, Naturalized Areas, Woodland Garden,  Pond and Streams, Water Garden, and Privacy Screen.

COMPANION PLANTS:  Daylily, Wisteria, Cotoneaster
