Bald Cypress on Standard
There's something quietly dramatic about a Bald Cypress on Standard. Trained to a single clean trunk with a full, feathery canopy perched on top, this tree form takes one of the South's most beloved native trees and gives it a sculptural, formal presence that works beautifully as a specimen, in a container, or flanking an entrance.
Bald Cypress is one of the toughest, most adaptable trees in the eastern US — thriving in wet soils, dry soils, full sun, and everything in between. Its soft, feathery needles emerge bright green in spring, deepen through summer, and turn a warm coppery-russet in fall before dropping — giving you three seasons of interest in a single tree.
