The Story

Plant Bio

Bald Cypress is a deciduous conifer known for its feathery, soft green needles that turn a beautiful russet-orange in fall. It is famously adaptable to both wet, swampy conditions and dry upland sites. 'Peve Minaret' is a compact, dwarf cultivar with a dense, pyramidal form. Its smaller size makes it suitable for small gardens, rockeries, and container planting where the full-sized species would be too large.

Planting

How to Grow

Select a site in full sun for best growth and form.
Dig a hole two to three times the width of the container.
Ensure the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil.
Backfill with the original soil, gently firming it around the roots.
Water deeply and consistently after planting to establish roots.
Mulch around the base to retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.

Pro Tip

While drought tolerant, providing consistent moisture during the first few years will encourage faster growth and a denser habit.
