Taxodium ascendens also known as Pond Cypress is a deciduous conifer of the genus Taxodium native to North America. Many botanists treat it as a variety of Bald Cypress Taxodium distichum (as T. distichum var. imbricarium) rather than as a distinct species but it differs in ecology occurring mainly in still blackwater rivers ponds and swamps without silt-rich flood deposits. It predominates in cypress dome habitats.
