cypress trees
Swamp-dwelling evergreen conifers
Cypress trees are evergreen conifers known for their distinctive columnar or conical shape, often found in wetlands or Mediterranean climates.
The bald cypress grows in southern U.S. swamps with its "knees" rising from the water; the Italian cypress lines roads and cemeteries in Tuscany.
Cypress wood resists rot, making it valuable for outdoor construction.
