Snow beneath the Cypress Trees | Taxodium distichum

Snow is rare in the Wilmington region. This event was accompanied by multiple days of unusually low temperatures (below freezing). These low temperatures will likely negatively impact many of the southern species that have migrating northward in response to higher average temperatures. Similarly, it may negatively impact some of the invasive species that have moved extreme differences and established in our region. The bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) is a native tree that should be unharmed by this low temperature excursion.
