Pond Cypress, Nodding Pond Cypress, Weeping Pond Cypress, Pendant Pond Cypress, Taxodium ascendens 'Nutans'
Taxodium distichum var. imbricarium ‘Nutans’ (Nodding Pond Cypress) is a deciduous coniferous tree of great beauty. It features a narrowly conical or columnar form with short, horizontal branching with drooping branchlets. Unlike most cone-bearing trees, Nodding Pond Cypress loses its needles each winter and grows a new set in spring. Its delicate foliage sprays of soft, bright green, awl-shaped leaves, turns rich shades of orange, cinnamon, and golden-brown in the fall, before dropping and revealing the gray-brown, ridged bark. A spectacular tree for stream banks or pond edges, it can also be grown in average garden soil.
