Debonair Pond Cypress

The Debonair Pond Cypress is a selected form of a native tree of southern rivers and swamps, that is hardy in the north and grows in all conditions. It grows more than a foot a year into a pyramidal tree that can reach 40 feet tall and 20 feet wide. The finely textured green foliage turns striking shades of copper, bronze and orange in fall on this deciduous conifer. Grow it as a lawn specimen, beside streams and ponds, in urban gardens and edging woodlands. This rare and unique tree is almost never offered to gardeners.

• Striking and rare deciduous conifer tree
• Glowing amber, bronze and copper foliage in fall
• The most cold-resistant variety of this tree
• Fast-growing specimen tree for every location
• Grows in all soils, from under water to urban gardens

The Debonair Pond Cypress is hardy even in zone 4, and it should be planted in full sun in all kinds of soils. It will grow in wet soil and even shallow water, but it also grows in drier soils, and even in urban conditions. It doesn’t have any significant pests or diseases and after some initial regular watering and some formative pruning this tree takes care of itself.
