Bald Cypress is a deciduous conifer which typically grows 60 to 80 feet tall and 35 to 40 Feet wide. Their new growth emerges as slender, light green flat leaves which turn darker green in Summer, and reddish brown in the fall. They can grow in wet swampy areas where they will produce “knees” to help support the tree. In landscape areas you should not see these knees as the soil is not loose and swampy.
