Cascade Falls Bald Cypress
The Bald Cypress Cascade Falls, Taxodium distichum 'Cascade Falls', (PP12296), is an exciting, very-weeping bald cypress. The weeping form of this Bald Cypress is very attractive and eye catching as it displays it's bright green foliage. Cascade Falls is tolerant of a wide range of soil and moisture conditions. All members of the bald cypress family are deciduous conifers. The new foliage is light green and will turn orange brown in the fall. With the cinnamon color, exfoliating bark, and unusual weeping form, it has great winter interest. Pruners can be used to control the length of the branches and whether the tips touch the ground or are allowed to cover the ground. Stake it to a certain height and then let it cascade down. If you don’t stake it up, this plant would be like a ground cover. In a landscape application you could let it flow over a rock wall like a green waterfall. Use this plant as a specimen or in a near water location. It also grows well in standing water and compacted soils. ... additional info
