One of the trees we're learning about in my Plant ID course:

Taxodium distichum: Bald Cypress

One of the south's most beautiful trees, I think.

The foliage is feathery, spiraling around the stems, and it has really interesting looking seeds that have already come out on the tree we have on school grounds.

They tend to live in swamps, and as they age they put out "buttresses" at the bottom for stability

And unlike most of the others in its family, it's actually deciduous (hence the name "bald") and looks rather beautiful in the fall

They grow into such odd shapes sometimes
