Taxodium distichum 'Peve Minaret' - Peve Minaret bald-cypress
.
Common name: Peve Minaret bald-cypress
Family: Cupressaceae (cypress family)
Distribution: Species native to s.-c. and s.e. United States
Hardiness: USDA Zone 5
Life form: Deciduous tree
Comments: A recent introduction from Esveld Nursery in Denmark, this deciduous conifer grows only to around 12' tall by 3' wide in 10 years with a spire-like outline. This compact selection possesses the ease of cultivation typical of the species and adapts well to upland and lowland sites. Foliage is fine-textured and threadlike, consisting of overlapping awl-shaped needles, bright green in summer and taking on a yellow to rusty-red fall coloration. "Cypress knees" develop when planted in wet sites.
