SunCoast Cypress Mulch

What Is Cypress Mulch Cypress mulch is made from shredded bald cypress or pond cypress wood. Like cedar, it contains natural oils (cypressene) that resist decay and repel insects. Cypress mulch has a distinctive blonde to light brown color that darkens to silver gray over time. It’s especially popular in the Southeast where cypress trees are abundant. Why Choose Cypress Cypress mulch interlocks when shredded, which means it stays in place on slopes and in areas with heavy rain better than bark nuggets or loose chips. This makes it the top choice for sloped beds, drainage areas, and flood-prone landscapes. It also mats down less than other shredded mulches, maintaining better water and air penetration to the soil.
