CYPRESS: Taxodium distichum Although Cypress is softwood, it can be found growing among hardwoods and unlike most conifers it sheds its foliage in the fall like a hardwood. Cypress is found primarily in swampy regions along the Southeastern coast. The oil in the heartwood makes it one of the most durable softwoods available when exposed to high moisture levels. Common uses include outdoor structures, shingles, trim, fence posts, shutters, siding and furniture. Cypress attaches, glues and finishes well. Average weight of the lumber is 32 lb. per cubic foot. Janka scale: 460
