The Beauty of Cypress Trees

from: Lawn and Garden Magic



A great type of tree that's always desirable, not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its functional potential as a raw material, is the Cypress tree. This fact does bring much pride to the class, but it can also be a curse. Cypresses are chopped down from forests all over the world, given the strong demand for the wood they provide. Unfortunately, this has led to the rather precarious existence for the Cypress tree.

Cypresses are great landscape trees for two reasons.

First, they're very hardy trees that can withstand variable weather conditions. Whether it's the scorching heat of the summer months or the freezing cold of the winter season, cypresses are sure to endure without losing their luster and beauty. Sadly, this hardiness is also the main cause for the depletion of cypresses in the wilds, as their wood make great building materials for structures.

Second, cypresses have uniquely enchanting foliage that spirals down to their trunks, creating a magical sight that conjures a mystical feel. They are majestic trees, what with their triangular shape of skeletal brown covered by greens that transform with the seasons. During summer, the leaves are of dark green color. As the months pass, the leaves transform into softer hues perfectly representative of the cooler days.

A cypress tree, hence, has always been used as the focal point of many landscape designs. Gardens and lawns have been patterned on the inspiration that cypresses can provide. It's not uncommon to see cypresses partnered with climbing vines to create the illusion of an environment surrounded by rich, thick foliage.

Cypresses are most commonly seen along riverbanks and swamps, which has led people to believe this tree type needs very moist soil. This is a grave misconception. The fact is, cypresses can grow in almost any soil variety. They're not picky when it comes to this and their roots are capable of retaining large amounts of water, which perfectly compensates for any deficiencies in the soil.

Cypress trees shed their leaves every year towards the summer, only to replace them with new ones of a lighter green color. There are, however, some varieties of cypresses that are bald. If you want thick foliage for your lawn or garden, try to avoid the bald variety, designated by its scientific name of taxodium distichum. Other than this, you're sure to enjoy your decision to adopt a cypress tree.
