About this seed
Why gardeners choose this variety
Mexican bald cypress, or ahuehuete, is Mexico's national tree and has been part of its cultural landscape since before the colonial period. Its Nahuatl name is associated with an old tree of water, reflecting its connection with rivers and great age.
Raising it from seed is a project for a tree nursery, a botanical collection or a spacious landscape site. The developing trunk and branching canopy provide interest year after year as the plant matures. Plan for the eventual tree rather than treating it as a small permanent container plant, and match the planting position to local conditions.
