cypress tree
Southern wetland evergreen
A cypress tree is any of several evergreen conifers, typically with scale-like leaves and a tall, narrow silhouette.
Cypresses are associated with cemeteries and mourning, particularly in Mediterranean cultures, where they line graveyards and memorial sites.
The old cemetery was shaded by ancient cypress trees.
Bald cypresses, native to southern U.S. swamps, are deciduous despite the family name.
