Peve Minaret is a dwarf selection of bald cypress perfect for planting in small spaces. It prefers damp to consistently wet soil however, like other bald cypress, will tolerate dry soils when established. Prefers full sun but will tolerate light shade.

When planting, dig a hole at least two times the size of the root ball. If the soil is heavy clay dig the hole three times as wide as the root ball and mix in some organic compost, such as composted cow manure or mushroom compost, at a 50/50 ratio with the soil removed from the planting hole. Set the tree in the hole with the top edge of the root ball even with the ground level. When backfilling, tamp the soil mixture as you go to remove air pockets. After planting water deeply and mulch with a two-inch layer of shredded wood mulch or pine straw. Do not put mulch up against the trunk of the tree. Leave a 3 to 4 inch space around trunk.
