The Bald Cypress


Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum) "Wave Hill" was a new addition to the garden last spring. We are still in a drought, but spring was not too bad. After planting, the little guy was watered, mulched and left to settle. Almost from the start it lost needles. Thinking that I was not watering enough, I persevered and sure enough some little bright green needles came back. Alas they were short lived and finally dropped.

It is going to stay there, just on the slim off chance that it will revive next spring - I can but hope!
