Taxodium distichum (Swamp Cypress)

Container Size: 45L bag
Current Height: Approximately 1.8 metres

Swamp Cypress is a striking deciduous conifer with an elegant pyramidal form, attractive fibrous reddish-brown bark, and a distinctive buttressed trunk. Although it is a conifer, it sheds its soft, feathery needles each winter after putting on a spectacular display of rich copper and golden autumn colour.

Native to wetlands, swamps, and floodplains, this remarkable tree is highly adaptable. It naturally thrives in waterlogged and periodically flooded conditions, where it may develop characteristic root “knees” that rise above the soil to aid oxygen exchange. It can tolerate standing water up to approximately 60 cm deep but also performs very well in ordinary garden soils.

With a moderate to fast growth rate of around 30–60 cm per year, Swamp Cypress reaches approximately 9 metres tall and 4 metres wide within its first 10 years under suitable conditions. At maturity, it can grow to around 20 metres tall and 10 metres wide, becoming a magnificent long-lived specimen tree that can survive for hundreds of years.
