This is one of the most unusual conifers to hit the market in years! Before it was officially released to the nursery industry, this rare weeping Bald Cypress was sold at auctions for as much as $275.00! A considerable amount has been invested for its development and patent by Cedar Lodge Nursery in Plymouth, New Zealand. The foliage is bright green and the plant gets its height from being staked. 'Cascade Falls' can even be used as a ground cover if not staked. Grows about 2' a year. An excellent introduction!
