Standing Cypress

Standing cypress is occasionally found growing on sandhills and dunes of the northern and central peninsula west to the panhandle and Escambia county. It blooms in the summer (Wunderlin, 2003).

Standing cypress is one of the best anchored trees in our native woodlands. Hurricanes along the southeastern coast will blow pines down in wide swaths, leaving the fat trunks of bald cypress jutting skyward in a tangle of destruction.
