Taxodium distichum ‘Cascade Falls' is a small to medium sized weeping version of the Bald Cypress that usually grows to 3-4 metres in its first ten years of life though it may eventually reach up to six metres over time.
It is the first weeping variety discovered but does need staking otherwise it will just be a groundcover. When staked (to the height you want it) the branches grow outward then cascade downwards and you can keep it trimmed if necessary from touching the ground.
The foliage is very attractive being flat, linear, green needles in two ranks along the brnaches. They start being light green then turn darker before changing to bright orange during autumn.
The bark is dark brown and peels away making another attractive feature in winter.
This small tree works especially well when planted to drape over rock walls, taking the appearance of a waterfall.
