Blad Cypress (Taxodium distichum) is a tree species that just about every Floridian has
heard of, especially those buying lots to build on. But in case you haven’t seen or heard of them yet, they’re a species of conifers spread through the southeastern United States. You can find them as far west as Texas and as up north as New Jersey. They have bright green leaves with a soft and feathery texture, brown/grey bark that has long fiber-like ridges, and a straight trunk.
