Bald Cypress’s on the St Johns River are very interesting with its change in color to orange-brown foliage this time of year making it a stunning tree to photograph. The bald cypress is so named due to its uncommon “baldness” (or bare looking branches) as a gymnosperm. It has structures developed from its roots called “knees”- they grow out of the water in order to perform gas exchange, which helps the tree survive in the marshes.
The St. John’s River is landscaped with beautiful bald cypress north of Sanford Florida.
