Shawnee Brave Bald Cypress is a long-lived native deciduous conifer tree with a narrow pyramidal habit, a buttressed trunk, and root knees when grown in water. The dense and soft feathery emerald green needle-like foliage turns an attractive cinnamon orange-brown in fall. Grows best in full sun and moist to wet acidic soil.
