The "Senator" bald cypress tree. The bald cypress grows in full sunlight to partial shade. This species grows best in wet or well-drained soil but can tolerate dry soil. It is moderately able to grow in aerosols of salt water. It does well in acid, neutral and alkaline soils across the full range of light (sandy), medium (loamy), and heavy ...
A secondary host, based on their geographic location, is the roots of the bald cypress (Taxodium distichum), where some aphids alternate between hosts and others remain with Taxodium distichum year-round. [1] The aphids themselves are a light bluish color with bodies covered with long, white, waxy filaments giving them a woolly appearance.
Taxodium ascendens, also known as pond cypress, [2] is a deciduous conifer of the genus Taxodium, native to North America.Many botanists treat it as a variety of bald cypress, Taxodium distichum (as T. distichum var. imbricatum) rather than as a distinct species, but it differs in habitat, occurring mainly in still blackwater rivers, ponds and swamps without silt-rich flood deposits.
The tree produces spiky green fruits about the size of a golf ball, which turn brown and drop off the tree over an extended period beginning in fall and continuing over the winter.

“When you bring a living plant that’s 6 or more feet tall into your home, you also could bring in all kinds of insects,” says Eric Benson, PhD, professor and extension entomologist, Clemson ...
A cypress dome in the background. Cypress domes form when pond cypress grow in shallow standing water. The ground level in the center of the dome may be several inches to a few feet lower than at the edge of the dome, but tree growth is more vigorous at the center of the dome. [3] Thus, the treetops are higher at the center than at the edge of ...
