Baldcypress (BC) - BC is native to much of the southeastern United States, from Delaware to Texas and inland up the Mississippi River to southern Indiana (Figure 1). It occurs mainly along rivers with silt-rich flood deposits. BC is a durable, long-lived deciduous conifer particularly well- adapted to wetland habitats (Cox and Leslie 1988). The tree is pollution- tolerant and excels in compacted, low- oxygen or swampy conditions. It stands strong in the face of hurricanes, is amazingly long lived (1000+ years) and, with time, can become quite large. The national chamption tree, The Senator, is located in Longwood, Florida and is estimated to be 3500 years old. It was once 165 1 tall but a 1925 hurricane reduced it to 118’. BC is easy to grow from seed and is relatively free of pests and diseases. The prevalence of knees (pneumatophores) is considered a negative in most landscaping circles as they interfere with routine maintenance programs. The Senator, Longwood, Florida While superior clones have been available for years, they have rarely captured a large portion of the baldcypress market. Most plants sold by nurseries are seedlings and there is considerable diversity in form, shape, and salt and alkalinity tolerance. Propagation by cuttings can be successful with
