Peve Minaret Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum 'Peve Minaret')
tax-OH-dee-um DISS-tih-kum 'Peve Minaret'

Deciduous Perennial Tree in the Cupressaceae Family

'Peve Minaret' is a compact, pyramidal form of the Bald Cypress that typically reaches 4-6 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide at maturity. It has a tightly upright, almost columnar growth habit with dense, finely textured foliage.

The delicate, needle-like leaves of 'Peve Minaret' are arranged in a feathery, distichous (two-ranked) pattern along the branches. In the spring, the new foliage emerges bright green, transitioning to a soft, blue-green for the summer. In the fall, the leaves turn an attractive copper or russet color before dropping.

This cultivar is well-suited for smaller landscapes and urban settings due to its more restrained size and pyramidal form compared to the larger, spreading habit of the species. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, acidic, well-drained soils, although it is adaptable to a range of soil types.

Taxodium distichum 'Peve Minaret' is hardy in USDA Zones 5-9 and is valued for its distinctive, architectural silhouette, seasonal color changes, and tolerance of wet, poorly-drained sites. It makes an excellent specimen tree, accent plant, or addition to rain gardens and riparian plantings.

Limited Availability

We try very hard to source exactly what you’d like, but sometimes growers run out of plants! While this variety is a great deal at the price shown, we know that it has limited availability. If you want the plant even if it might be more expensive, or in a different size or quantity -- after you place your order, just send us a quick note at help@northshoreplantclub.com. Then, we’ll try to get you some version of this from one of our growers. And if we can’t get it from anywhere, of course, we’ll send a refund!


Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants

Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.

Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.

We order from a rotating cast of the best nurseries in the Great Lakes region. It looks like we've offered this plant in the past, but the nurseries we're working with this week don't appear to have it in stock at the moment.

Our goal is to bring as many plants together under "one roof" as possible, so we'll try hard to make it available again in the future!
