• Planting Instructions (bareroot Bald Cypress):

  • Plant in early spring or late fall when the tree is dormant.

  • Select a full-sun location with moist to well-draining soil.

  • Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots and deep enough so the root collar (where trunk meets roots) is level with the ground.

  • Place the tree in the hole, spread out roots naturally, and backfill with native soil.

  • Water thoroughly after planting and keep soil evenly moist during establishment.

  • Mulch around the base (2–3 inches deep, but not touching the trunk) to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.

The Bald Cypress is an enduring, adaptable tree that brings both beauty and ecological value, making it an excellent choice for landscapes ranging from wetland edges to large, open lawns.
