Imagine being able to keep your bald cypress the exquisite fluffy bright green of spring for the entire year. The green whisper bald cypress makes that possible. Selected by Shady Grove Plantation in South Carolina. The green whisper brings all the outstanding characteristics of a bald cypress along with year-long fresh green color and an outstanding pyramidal shape. We've seen quite a few of the shade tree bald cypress and green whisper is our personal favorite.
The bald cypress is a large, fast growing tree. It is a deciduous conifer meaning the needles will drop in the fall and regrow in the spring adding to the charm by providing a beautiful coppery fall color. It makes a great lawn specimen tree adding texture to your yard with its feathery needled branches and fibrous reddish bark. If you have room plant multiple trees to use for the cover trees of a shade garden. Their airy branching with the fine needles allows for light to reach the bottom and their dropped needles provide good winter cover for the plants underneath. These trees are native to the southeastern wetlands and do well in wet soils but are also tolerant to occasional droughts.
