Montezuma Bald Cypress found in the Rio Grande River south to Guatemala, although rarely rare in Texas. The main difference between the Montezuma Bald Cypress and Baldcypress is that Baldcypress Montezuma cypress and male flowers are borne in long bunches, while the general Baldcypress of leaves and male flowers in short clusters. It has been said that the south is the northern extreme of the range and have difficulty living winter farther north than San Antonio. However, there is a growing and doing very well in Plano Texas at the National Headquarters Frito. See photos below.

Tule tree, the southern city of Oaxaca in Mexico is one of the largest and most spectacular trees in the world. It is more than 140 meters, the trunk measuring more than 50 feet in diameter. One of the fir in the group in front of the Frito Lay headquarters in Plano, Texas it seems like the Montezuma cypress. It is almost green and significantly exceeded the bald cypresses others how it can be mixed with plain pine trees other bald is a mystery. But, I am glad it is because it has been shown that this tree is more cold tolerant than everyone thinks. This seems to be suitable for northern Texas and the same climate and should be used more.
