Cypress trees are majestic, tall evergreens commonly found in wetlands, swamps, and along riverbanks. Known for their unique, feathery foliage and distinctive "knees"—mysterious, knobby growths that protrude from the roots—they thrive in moist, waterlogged environments. Cypress trees have a rich, dark green canopy and can live for centuries, some reaching impressive heights. Their wood is highly durable, resistant to rot, making them valuable for construction and outdoor use. Often associated with calm, reflective waters, cypress trees have a timeless, tranquil presence in nature.
