Full Description

The swamp cypress is a bright, fresh green, bluntly conic crown until it darkens and in November it turns foxy-brown. The slender leaves, 2cm long, spread on either side of the young shoots and both are shed in autumn. Only trees planted by water or in flooded ground will grow the woody termite-hills, known as ‘knees’ or pneumatophores.

Many of the best Swamp Cypress grown stand beside lakes or streams and in the UK. They rarely reach a height of over 30 metres. Best grown in a line or grouped together as with other conifers can look bare and untidy.
