NANJING BEAUTY 

Taxodium x Nanjing Beauty    Hardy in zones 7 and warmer and in southern CA. To date we have shipped trees to 48 Botanical Gardens and Arboretums. We think this small number of Nanjing Beauty growers is going to take too long to get a good evaluation of this new tree so we have changed our strategy. If you will participate in the evaluation of this new tree we will send you 5 to 10 or more trees of any size Nanjing Beauty at half price plus shipping. What we ask is that you plant, take pictures, and let us email you later to see how they are doing. We want you to take 5 to 10 or more for a better evaluation of this new variety. Any size at half price. To order call 1-888-855-3300

The Botany Shop was given small plants in 2004 by Dr. David Creech, Steven F. Austin University - Nacogdoches Texas . He believes, as I do, that it could be an excellent tree for fast screening, landscapes, soil conservation, timber, acid & high Ph and salty soils, and to control beach erosion.

Nanjing Beauty is a Chinese hybrid cross of our Bald Cypress and the Mexican Montezuma Cypress which is the largest tree in the world by mass, (Arbol de Tule).

Click here for photos. The first group are photos are of a 25ft Nanjing Beauty in the Atlanta Botanical Garden. This tree is one of the original rooted cuttings that Dr Creech brought from China in his suitcase (legally) in December of 2001. The rest of the photos are from Professor Yin Yunlong, senior scientist, Nanjing Botanical Garden.

This plant is a hybrid cross developed by Dr. Chen Yonghui, Nanjing Botanical Garden in 1980. The best selection was F1302, a clone in China known as taxodium Zhongshansa. Renamed by Dr. David Creech for the U.S. market with the permission of the Nanjing Botanical Garden -- Taxodium Nanjing Beauty or just Nanjing Beauty.
