Chinese Proverb

Bald Cypress

              Bald Cypress love the company of wildlife

                Bald Cypress love water and drought

              Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum) 

    One of the strongest symbols of the beauty of nature

                  Strong and bold even during the cold

           Considered sacred by some forms of religions

                   Growing up to 80 feet in height

Interesting growth from an oven mitt or crab claw to a spectacular tall beauty
