Abstract:

The bald cypress tree is often found near swamps, wetlands, and rivers. It is a common and popular tree in North Carolina and throughout the south, not only for its foliage, but also for its ability to soak up flood waters and prevent erosion. Bald cypresses can be found in the wild and in arboretums such as the Asheville Botanical Gardens.
