Bald Cypress Trunk
The swollen basal trunk of a Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum). The trunk is fully exposed since the waters of the Atchafalaya are down during the fall and early winter. In the spring the tree may have ten or more feet of water covering the base. The Bald Cypress is the state tree of Louisiana.
