Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum) is a exotic tree included in the City of Sydney tree species list. Council data indicates approximately 20 m high and 6 m spread, with a spreading canopy form. Its noted amenity value is interesting foliage. Its recorded local performance is somewhat reliable. Final selection should still account for available soil volume, services, exposure and the mature canopy required on the site.
