The baldcypress is well adapted to survive in harsh soil conditions. It is one of the few deciduous trees with needle-like leaves. These feathery leaves turn golden, then reddish-brown, before dropping off the tree each fall. The reddish-brown bark provides year-round color. Baldcypress are known for developing knees, or wood projections, when growing in very wet soils.
