Taxodium distichum

A deciduous conifer with a columnar habit when young, becoming broadly pyramidal at maturity. Often high-branched, revealing red-brown, fissured bark. Leaves are bright yellow/green in spring darkening to sage green during the summer and then a burnt orange in the fall. This tree is known to leaf out very late in the spring, but it's soft, feather-like needles are worth the wait. This tree is one of the only trees that can withstand long periods of drought but can also be planted in very wet soils.
