Some of us don’t have the room to install an entire water feature in our front yards. While disappointing, you don’t have to give up the dream altogether. Plant a Falling Water Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum ‘Falling Waters’) and revel in its flowing foliage!
Like other weeping forms, this tree’s branches stretch towards the ground in a race to see which touches grass first. Unlike other forms, its foliage is needle-like! But don’t worry, they aren’t sharp! Running your hand through its luscious green botanical hair feels as soft as a feather! Watch them flow and sway in the breeze!
As pretty as this deciduous coniferous tree is in the spring and summer, you’ll be absolutely astounded at its beauty come fall! The leaves turn a gorgeous shade of copper before falling away to reveal the fascinating branch structure underneath.
Imagine the beauty of this tree covered in a layer of sparkling morning frost! Hardy throughout USDA planting zones 6 to 9, these fantastic weeping ornamentals grow 8-12 feet tall and a bit slimmer in width.
Use Falling Waters as the focal point of your front yard for a unique display that lasts all year! Plant in a raised berm to really show your weeping ornamental off best, or plant at the corner of your home or outbuilding. The fine-textured beauty and swaying motion bring a dream-like quality to your landscape.
Should you happen to already have that water feature the rest of us are jealous of, plant this dwarf weeping conifer at the edge to complete the aesthetic. Plant your tree near ponds, lakes, rivers, Rain Gardens, and any area that tends to flood or get soggy after a rain.
You can also plant this drooping ornamental at the edge of your backyard patios. They make great conversation starters! Plant in a Zen garden or meditation nook, reflected in a still pond for a pretty presentation! One would become a crown jewel to a landscaping bed, or potted up in a large planter around your seating areas and back patio!
To keep this weeping tree at its happiest, place it somewhere in full sun and well-drained soil. However, it does alright in both dry conditions and even a bit of standing water. Acidic soil is best along with a thick layer of mulch around the base. These trees do best with supplemental moisture during extended drought and prolonged heat, however, they love moist to high-moisture soil environments. Doing well in urban conditions, weeping Bald Cypresses are highly adaptable and resilient! Truly versatile trees! We highly recommend Nature Hills Root Booster during planting.
