How close can a bald cypress be planted to a house?

Bald cypress trees should ideally be planted at least 15 to 20 feet away from a house to allow for their mature size and to prevent potential damage to the foundation or roof. Their expansive root system and height can pose issues if planted too close, such as interfering with drainage systems or causing damage to structures. Additionally, maintaining adequate space can help ensure proper air circulation and light exposure for the tree's health.
