🌲 Buy Swamp Cypress Trees (Taxodium distichum) – Deciduous Conifers for UK Gardens & Wet Areas
Looking for something a little different for your garden or landscape project? Swamp Cypress trees, also known by their botanical name Taxodium distichum, offer striking autumn colour, unusual texture, and a fascinating history. Originally from the wetlands of the American South, these deciduous conifers are surprisingly well-suited to the UK climate—thriving in damp, boggy ground but also growing well in regular garden soil.
Introduced to Britain as early as 1640 by plant collector John Tradescant, Swamp Cypress has long been valued in parks, gardens, and waterside plantings. With soft, feathery foliage that turns a rich copper-red before dropping in autumn, it creates stunning seasonal interest. While often associated with water, this tree is tough enough to grow without it, making it a great choice for anyone looking to add character and colour to larger gardens, estates, or rewilding projects.
These saplings are currently 30–50cm in height and ready for planting all year round.
Key Features:
Deciduous conifer – rare and eye-catching, similar to the European Larch
Rich copper-red autumn foliage – adds colour and contrast to any landscape
Thrives in wet ground – perfect for lakesides, riverbanks, or bog gardens
Equally happy in standard soil – adaptable and resilient in UK conditions
Ideal for large gardens, parkland, or estate planting
Popular bonsai species – appreciated for its unique needle texture and shape
Heritage species in the UK – first planted here nearly 400 years ago
Delivered as 30–50cm saplings – ready to establish strong roots in any season
🌱 The Swamp Cypress tree stands out with elegance, history and brilliant autumn colour. Order today for fast UK delivery!Â
