Taxodium distichum 'Shawnee Brave'
Choose Shawnee Brave® Bald Cypress for a wet or open sunny spot where you want a tough shade tree; its strength is tough-site adaptability, but it drops its needles in fall and needs real room.
Buy This If
- You have space for a shade tree.
- Your site runs damp or variable.
- You want copper fall color.
Skip This If
- You need winter privacy.
- You want a small ornamental.
- You want year-round evergreen foliage.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | It gives a strong upright shape, soft texture, and good fall color without looking fussy. |
| Growth Rate | A- | It establishes into a substantial shade tree faster than many specimen conifers. |
| Maintenance | B+ | It usually needs little pruning, though needle drop and cone litter are part of the deal. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer rarely bother this tree; it is a dependable choice where deer are a concern, though young trunks can still be rubbed. |
| Small Space Fit | D | Even with its narrower habit, this is not a tree for tight residential spaces. |
| Screening Value | C | It can add summer cover, but it is not useful as a winter privacy screen. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this when the site is too wet for many shade trees but still has enough open space. Do not buy it expecting evergreen privacy.

Customers Usually Ask
Is Bald Cypress evergreen?
No, it is a deciduous conifer, so the soft needles color up and drop in fall.
Can it handle wet ground?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons to choose it.
Will it fit near the house?
Usually no; give it open lawn space, not a foundation bed.
Why buy for fall color
- See the actual color before you buy it
- Foliage, berries and late bloom — all three seasons of interest
- Fall planting means roots established before winter
Locally grown for New England conditions
