Detailed explanation-1: -Bald cypress cones don’t actually look like cones at all. Their cone structure is round and about one inch (2.5 centimeters) in diameter. When cones appear in autumn, they are tough and green, but they become woody as the season progresses.
Detailed explanation-2: -Look up high into the trees and you may see small “balls” hanging from the branches. These are bald cypress cones, West said. They are reminiscent of gumballs from afar, but a bit bigger. Cypress produce cones every year in varying amounts, but only every three to five years do they produce a lot of viable seeds.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Bald Cypress trees adapt to the inundation of water by having roots which surface above to ground level to convey oxygen to the tree’s root system in an easier manner. The adaptation is known as “cypress knees” and the photo shows numerous knees for several trees.
Detailed explanation-4: -The bald cypress is a deciduous (loses its leaves in fall) conifer (cone bearing tree). It is covered with brown or gray bark with long fiber-like or scaly ridges that peel off in strips.
