treeman Joined: 3/29/2002 Location: Posts: 2874	Posted: Nov/22/2007 3:42 PM PST I believe you have a "Bald" cypress, Taxodium Distichum. The moniker "bald" comes from the fact that while they are conifers, they are deciduous, meaning they drop their needles annually. A couple of other deciduous conifers include Dawn Redwoods, (Metasquoia glyptostoboides and larch (Larix spp.) and surprise, Ginko (Ginko Bilboa). So don't run out and cut it down and please advise your neighbor likewise. Quote \| Reply \| Report
