Taxodium Green Whisper

Green Whisper Baldcypress

Green Whisper baldcypress has especially bright green, soft-textured foliage on a vigorous, pyramidal tree. The needles turn rusty orange in autumn before dropping, exposing the branching framework for winter.

The canopy loses its leaves for winter. Autumn color includes orange. Allow the natural framework to develop without crowding neighboring plants or paths.

Provide full sun and consistent moisture during establishment. Baldcypress tolerates wet ground as well as ordinary garden soil, but needs room for a large crown.
