Bald Cypress – Taxodium distichum Tree Seeds | 10 Seeds | Hardy Deciduous Conifer | Fast Growing Shade Tree | Wet Soil Tolerant | Zone 4–8

Grow a majestic native tree with these Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum) seeds. Known for its fast growth, feathery foliage, and striking orange-cinnamon fall color, this long-lived deciduous conifer is both adaptable and visually stunning.

Native to the southeastern United States, Bald Cypress is famous for thriving in swampy conditions—but it also grows beautifully in upland and moderately dry soils. In wet areas, it may develop unique “knees” that rise above the soil or water surface, adding architectural interest to landscapes.

This pyramidal tree can reach 50–70 feet tall and is prized for shade, parks, large properties, and bonsai cultivation. Highly tolerant of cold, heat, wind, salt, and periodic drought, it is one of the most versatile native shade trees available.
