Surprisingly, bald cypress may be found this far north. Photographers Dave Harp and Bill Thompson went paddle-boarding recently in Delaware’s Trap Pond State Park, the northernmost extensive stand of bald cypress on the Eastern seaboard of the US, according to Wikipedia. It is located near Laurel, Delaware, between Seaford and Salisbury.

Well … Laurel, DE, may have the “northernmost extensive stand of Bald Cypress on the Eastern seaboard,” but we’ve got one of those things on our waterfront property four miles upstream from the Chestertown Bridge on the upper Chester River. Isn’t that more northern than Laurel, DE?
