Lindsey's Skyward™ Bald Cypress
Taxodium distichum 'Skyward' PP #22,812
SKU
05361
Attractive dwarf conifer forms a dense, narrow spire with soft, rich green foliage, delightful to the touch. Leaf green spring foliage matures to deep green in summer. The fine, almost feathery needles change to a copper hue in autumn, holding their color for weeks before falling. Beautifully tiered, upward facing branches add elegance and character; textured bronzy bark adds interest. Makes an ideal accent for smaller gardens. Deciduous.
