Taxodium distichum ‘Falling Waters’
Bald Cypress - Falling Waters
A semi-dwarf, weeping Bald Cypress. Similar to ‘Cascade Falls’ but will form a leader in time growing upwards by itself. Green feathery foliage is attached to pendulous side branches which turn orange-bronze in fall before shedding. Initial staking is recommended when young to start leader formation. Grows 6-8′ high and wide in a 10 year period.
