You are bidding on 15 NUTANS POND CYPRESS SEEDS - Taxodium ascendens " nutans ".


Also commonly called dwarf cypress or hat-rack cypress.

Pond cypress is a deciduous conifer that is native to the coastal plain from Virginia to Florida to Louisiana. It is most often found on the peripheries of ponds and lakes, hence the common name. It is very similar in form and habit to the common bald cypress (Taxodium distichum).

It is relatively slow growing with a conical form and will ultimately reach a height of approximately 30 feet .


Branches of green foliage nod down at the tips (which is "Nutans" in Latin).

The eye-catching feature is the bright green foliage that emerges in spring, growing vertically up from the branches and giving it a feathery appearance. In autumn it takes on the most glorious shades of orange and bronze.
