How to grow bald cypress

When to plant bald cypress

Plant this tree while dormant, in fall or early spring. Extension guidance rates fall, after leaf drop, and early spring, before bud break, as the best windows; balled-and-burlapped or bare-root stock goes in during dormancy so roots establish before top growth resumes.

Bald Cypress is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
