Cascade Falls Bald Cypress
The weeping form of this Bald Cypress is very attractive and eye catching as it displays it's bright green foliage. The Bald Cypress Cascade Falls, Taxodium distichum 'Cascade Falls', (PP12296), is an exciting, very-weeping bald cypress. If you don’t stake it up, this plant would be like a ground cover. All members of the bald cypress family are deciduous conifers. Use this plant as a specimen or in a near water location. It also grows well in standing water and compacted soils. Pruners can be used to control the length of the branches and whether the tips touch the ground or are allowed to cover the ground. Cascade Falls is tolerant of a wide range of soil and moisture conditions. The new foliage is light green and will turn orange brown in the fall. In a landscape application you could let it flow over a rock wall like a green waterfall. Stake it to a certain height and then let it cascade down. With the cinnamon color, exfoliating bark, and unusual weeping form, it has great winter interest. ... additional information
Sugarberry The Sugarberry tree differs from common hackberry because the fruits are juicier and sweeter, bark is less corky, and leaves are narrower with mostly smooth margins. The trunk diameter ranges from 1-3' and the mature gray bark develops a warty texture. Female flowers give way to an often abundant fruit crop of round fleshy berry-like drupes maturing to deep purple. Fleshy parts of the fruit are edible and sweet. Leaves are glossy to dull green leaves (2-4” long) and have a yellow fall color. |
