photo: my pics of the giant bald cypress tree. Their roots develop “knees” (1st pic) for aeration & support. Nature teaches what we need to stand tall‼️

Yesterday an old friend from Louisiana told me about bald cypress trees, how they can form roots 25 feet horizontally underground and the roots can’t be linked to one individual tree. They are a network.

They withstand hurricanes too!

I think that’s beautiful so I wanted to share it.

A colour photo of strangely shaped cypress trees, with the bottoms for the trunks curving, twisting and lifted from the ground, leaning on roots.

Took my canoe out and explored these bald cypress trees 🩷🩷🩷 definitely made me feel like a bog witch.
I want to go again when the leaves change!!! I bet it'd be so pretty

Growing up in East Texas, we often went canoeing on Caddo Lake which is dominated by cypress trees hung with Spanish moss.

One of the things you learn about quickly are the cypress knees, which are projections from the cypress roots that stick above water.

(📷: Lynn McBridge, Nature Conservancy)
Red and orange cypress trees grow in profusion on the shores and shallows of Caddo Lake, a natural lake on the border of Louisiana and Texas. Grey Spanish moss hands from all the limbs, creating a sort of smoky or foggy effect, and the light filtering of the trees creates a dark canopy.

Pneumatophores are so cool! Little snorkles for trees that need roots to breath underwater. These are from a swamp cypress and act to bring oxygen to the roots under the surface

The swamp-dwelling ‘bald cypress’ is today’s #SpookyScience feature (and Louisiana’s state 🌲)!

The bald cypress is a pneumatophore, with roots growing just below the surface then protruding ⬆️ (believed to help the tree breathe). The tree’s “knees” don’t always look this spooky, but what a shot 📸 🧪

A b&w photo of twisting trees with roots like bridges between them, growing on a hill at Stourhead Gardens. I believe these are swamp cypress, but they're above the level of the lake.
