The Bald Cypress trees are deciduous conifers which occur near damp soils or swamps. Because the wood of the Bald Cypress tree grows under such wet, stressful conditions, it is very resistant to water rot and has been called "wood eternal". Wood from fallen pre-historic trees is still found as far North as New England. Seeds are spread by moving water and wildlife but will only germinate given damp but not wet conditions for several months.

The Leyland Cypress Shrub is a very rapidly growing evergreen shrub that often is utilized as a privacy screen. The flat leaves of the Leyland Cypress tree offer a large surface area to absorb irritating automobile fumes, and the density of the foliage will block out automobile noise and unwanted surveillance.
