Taxodium Distichum Peve Yellow

Bald Cypress

Peve Yellow Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum ‘Peve Yellow’) brings pale yellow foliage to an open, upright tree. The light color gives the crown a luminous appearance through the growing season, then shifts toward orange-brown before the needles fall.

Its naturally open framework can be made denser with pruning if a more compact outline is wanted. Adequate moisture is particularly useful for keeping the yellow foliage in good condition during sunny weather.

Grow in sun or partial shade. Keep the root zone adequately moist to help the pale foliage stay in good condition.
