Product Description
Bald Cypress Bonsai Tree – Coiled Trunk
(taxodium distichum)
General Information – Bald Cypress
| Botanical Name: | Taxodium distichum |
| Description: | The bald cypress is a deciduous tree that grows best in wet/soggy conditions. The needles may fall off the tree over the winter, or they may stay on the tree until the spring. The tree is a fast grower, and can achieve 36 inches of growth in just one year. |
| Position: | The tree needs to be grown in full sun. It may be grown out of doors in USDA planting zones 5b to 9. |
| Watering: | Plants grown in the south should be watered daily. Watering is best accomplished by submerging the pot in water for approximately 30 minutes. |
| Feeding: | Feed with a fertilizer containing a 10-10-10 ratio of potassium, nitrogen and phosphorous twice a month during the growing season. |
| Leaf and Branch Pruning: | Undesirable leaves may be removed throughout the growing season. Shaping is easily achieved by regular pinching-back of new shoots. The bald cypress bonsai looks best when trained into an upright and formal shape. |
| Re-potting & Growing Medium: | Because the tree grows so rapidly, frequent re-potting is necessary. The plant must be grown in soil that is highly retentive of water. Mushroom compost is an excellent choice. |
| Wiring: | The use of wires on Bald Cypress trees could cause damage to the bark because the tree grows quickly. Tying down the branches with twine is a better, more successful, alternative. |
| Notes: | Bald cypresses that grow in the wild have lived to the grand age of 1000 years. |
