About this plant
Meet the 'Falling Waters' Weeping Bald Cypress, a truly unique specimen that defies traditional conifer expectations. Unlike most conifers, this distinctive tree is deciduous, shedding its soft, feathery needles in autumn after they transform into a spectacular display of russet and coppery-bronze. Its most captivating feature is its strong weeping habit, with branches cascading gracefully toward the ground, creating a dramatic and elegant silhouette. This architectural beauty makes a stunning focal point in any landscape, providing year-round interest. Adapted to a variety of soil conditions, 'Falling Waters' Weeping Bald Cypress thrives in both wet and drier sites, making it a versatile choice for ponds, stream banks, or even as an upright focal point in drier garden beds.
Care & maintenance
Easily grown in average to wet soils in full sun. Prefers consistently moist conditions but is surprisingly tolerant of drier sites once established. Pruning is generally not required, but can be done to shape or remove any undesirable branches in late winter or early spring.
