Comments:
Cypress trees grow in a wide range of soil conditions from quite dry to very wet, standing in water. The growth rate is very different in the extremes. The soft delicate, feathery fernlike foliage, striking autumn color, ability to grow in wet and dry soils, its ability to withstand strong winds, and relatively fast rate of growth for the first ten years are a few of the reasons why this native tree is favored for use in many landscape situations. This is the state tree of Louisiana.
