The Pond Cypress (Taxodium ascendens) is a stately, deciduous conifer known for its elegant, fine-textured foliage and strong adaptability to wet soils. Native to the southeastern United States, this tree thrives in low, swampy areas but is also highly adaptable to upland sites, making it a versatile choice for landscapes large and small.
In spring and summer, Pond Cypress displays soft, feathery needles in a fresh green color that matures to rich coppery-orange hues in fall before dropping for the winter. Its narrow, upright form and tolerance of standing water make it ideal for planting near ponds, lakes, or rain gardens, where few other trees can thrive.

| Pruning | Minimal pruning needed; remove dead or damaged branches if necessary |
| Fertilization | Do not fertilize at planting. Once the trees are established, fertilize in early spring (Mar-April) as growth begins. Do not fertilize in the fall, which could promote late season tender growth that can be damaged by early frosts. |
| Watering | Newly planted trees should be watered regularly. This is the most critical step in the establishment of your new trees. Please see the Watering section under "How to plant and grow" in our Learning Center. |
