Falling Waters Bald Cypress is a long-lived slow-growing native deciduous conifer tree with weeping branches and a buttressed trunk. The soft, feathery-like light green needle foliage completely cover the trunk and turn an attractive cinnamon orange-brown in fall. Grows best in full sun and moist to wet acidic soil. Falling Waters has a true weeping form and will only grow as tall as it is staked - otherwise it will cascade.
