The Bald Cypress Tree Bare-root 3 Plants (Taxodium distichum) is a majestic, low-maintenance tree that adds vibrancy and beauty to any landscape.

Typically found in wetland regions from Delaware to Florida, and as far north as Minnesota, the Bald Cypress Tree can grow up to 70 feet tall in most landscapes.
