Taxodium distichum var. mexicanum (syn. T. huegelii/mucronatum)

The iconic Mexican Swamp Cypress is such a fabulously charismatic tree in the wild, where it virtually always forms a more semi- weeping habit than its American cousin and trees of vast sizes and huge age can be found. A fully hardy success in the UK; Kew has a 100yr old specimen for example that would have endured extreme cold in the past. I recommend a summer warm site in ordinary or damp soil; it is not fussy. Despite the erroneous comments by authors regarding its evergreen qualities, it actually drops its foliage in January here, showing beautiful soft-orange shades.
