Tips

Christian 🏔️ OUTDOOR 🥾🧗🏻‍♂️🚵‍♀️

The swamp cypress, also known as swamp yew, is the better known of the two plant species in the genus swamp cypress, which belongs to the cypress family.

Breathing knees, knee roots or air knees are formed by some swamp and mangrove trees. They break through the soil surface as root loops or negative-gravitropic (growing in the opposite direction of gravity) outgrowths of the horizontally oriented, near-surface underground root system. Breathing knees serve as pneumatophores; their aerenchyma (ventilation tissue) ensures the gas exchange of the underground root system in the oxygen-poor sediment.
