Item Description

Bald cypress, is a long-lived, conifer.  Although it looks like a needled evergreen, it is in fact deciduous (“bald” as the common name suggests). ‘Cascade Falls' is a compact weeping form that typically grows to 8-12' tall over the first 10-15 years, eventually maturing to as much as 20' tall. It was discovered growing on the bank of a lake on cultivated property in Albany, Auckland, New Zealand. Branches hang outward and then plunge vertically toward the ground. Flat, linear, dark green needles appear in two ranks along the twigs (distichum means in two vertical ranks). Needles turn an attractive rusty-brown in fall before dropping. This cultivar does not produce viable seed.
