The Bald Cypress is a wetland tree that is characterized by its needlelike leaves and cypress knees that are a part of the root system that can be seen above ground. Bald Cypress can live at least 600 years and some up to 1000 years. These trees provide nesting areas for wading birds like herons and egrets. They are also a host plant for the Sphinx Moth.
