The Pond Cypress is one of the two
species of Taxodium that are native to the southeastern United States. It is
distinguished from the Bald Cypress by its foliage. The Pond Cypress has small
scale leaves that are on branchlets that are held upright on the
twigs. The Bald Cypress has needle leaves that are on horizontal branchlets. It
is one of the few deciduous conifers that shed its leaves (and branchlets) in
the fall. Young trees have a broad, conical form and mature trees have a tall,
trunk with a large, buttressed base and spreading or ascending branches. The
branches are often festooned with Spanish moss in the Deep South.
Growing Instructions
The seeds have a period of dormancy
and they have to be treated in order to germinate. They have to be cold stratified in order to germinate.
1. Put the seeds in wet sand and put
the sand and the seeds in a plastic bag.
2. Put the bag in the refrigerator and
store it there for 2-4 months.
3. Fill a planting tray with wet
sphagnum moss. Sow the seeds in the moss. Cover the seeds with a ½ inch thick layer
of moss. Keep the moss moist or wet but not flooded with water. The seeds take
1-3 months to germinate.
3. Fill planting containers with potting
soil. Plant the seeds in the soil and cover them with a layer of soil.
4. Place the containers in sunlight.
Keep the soil very moist at all times but not wet. Feed the seedlings with a
balanced fertilizer.
5. Move the seedlings to a permanent
planting location the following autumn.
