A flat topped and quite dwarf with small twisted light green leaves. Plants grafted low seem to generally have a bit more mounding habit.

Taxodium distichum 'Secrest' (foliage)
The foliage of this selection has a bit of a twist to the needles. Along with the horizontal growth habit this foliage adds to the charm of this selection.

Low graft. When grafted low plants are generally more rounded in shape.

Taxodium distichum 'Secrest' (high graft)
This plant is six years old in 2003. Notice the flat, pancake like growth habit. This clone is at its best when grafted high on a standard.
