Very slow growing. At a young age it could be used as a dwarf. It eventually
grows 6-12" a year to make an attractive specimen of medium conical size.
Does not tolerate lime soil conditions. This unusual plant is one of the
most sought after that has come from Japan. We are sure you will want this

Taxodium ascendens
- Pond Bald Cypress — (-20°F, USDA Zones 5-10 even 11) Naturally found
around lakes, ponds and small rivers, this tree prefers wet or at the very
least, moist soil that also has sun. Taking the time to pick the right spot,
however, is time well spent as you will be rewarded with a tree unique in
every season. This tree, which can reach 75’ in height, has a narrow crown
of awl shaped green needles which in autumn turn an attractive red-brown. In
winter, this deciduous tree drops its leaves exposing the irregular,
outspread branching pattern along the light brown trunk which gradually
thickens toward the base. It creates an impressive display.

Hardier than the species, this variety has foliage resembling Arborvitae
rather than Taxodium because of the fine texture. Vigorous, narrow
form that can withstand wind and ice without breaking. Difficult to find,
so get this beauty while you can.
SOLD OUT

Its pretty foliage is very much like the yew, fresh green in spring, turning
bronze before dropping in fall. This tree grows 2-4" a year and in 10 years
it may reach 16’ high and 8’ wide. Very beautiful and distinctive.
60642
Taxodium distichum ‘Cascade Falls’ — This is one of the most
unusual conifers to hit the market in years! Before it was officially
released to the nursery industry, this rare weeping Bald Cypress was sold
at auctions for as much as $275.00! A considerable amount has been
invested for its development and patent by Cedar Lodge Nursery in
Plymouth, New Zealand. The foliage is bright green and the plant gets its
height from being staked. ‘Cascade Falls’ can even be used as a ground
cover if not staked. Grows about 2’ a year. An excellent introduction!

know how big it will be at that age, but will you be around to see it
then? This is a must plant for the small garden. Personally, I’m going to
put several in my rock garden. I bought these cute plants to sell, not to
