DEDICATO A SILVIO2006 PER LA SUA GRANDE PASSIONE PER GLI ALBERI

Taxodium - genere delle Cupressaceae, originario del nord America la specie più conosciuta è il Taxodium distichum che viene chiamato Cipresso delle paludi o Cipresso calvo, alberi di grandi dimensioni, oltre i 30 m di altezza, con tronco massiccio scanalato alla base foglie decidue (da cui il secondo nome volgare), fiori monoici, viene utilizzato come Pianta ornamentale lungo gli stagni o i corsi d'acqua.


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Taxodium is a genus of one to three species (depending on taxonomic opinion) of extremely flood-tolerant conifers in the cypress family, Cupressaceae. It is one of several genera in the family that are commonly known as "cypresses". Within the family, Taxodium is most closely related to Chinese Swamp Cypress (Glyptostrobus pensilis) and Sugi (Cryptomeria japonica).

Species of Taxodium occur in the southern part of the North American continent and are deciduous in the north and semi-evergreen to evergreen in the south. They are large trees, reaching 30-45 m tall and 2-3 m (exceptionally 11 m) trunk diameter. The needle-like leaves, 0.5-2 cm long, are borne spirally on the shoots, twisted at the base so as to appear in two flat rows on either side of the shoot. The cones are globose, 2-3.5 cm diameter, with 10-25 scales, each scale with 1-2 seeds; they are mature in 7-9 months after pollination, when they disintegrate to release the seeds. The male (pollen) cones are produced in pendulous racemes, and shed their pollen in early spring.
