| | Ohio Trees - Baldcypress (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) |
 | | Baldcypress has miniature needlelike leaves that attach to twiglets, and these twiglets attach to the main twig in a spiraled fashion. |
 | | In autumn, the leaves change from medium green to shades of orange, cinnamon, and tan, before the needles and twiglets together absisce from the twig. |
 | | Baldcypress, a monoecious species, has its dormant male catkins elongate in late winter or very early spring (upper left), and these sway in the harsh winds of March, pollinating the nearby female flowers. |
