Hi Rutholive (Donna),

What you probably have is Taxodium distichum 'Pendens' as none of my reference books nor does the American Conifer Society list a Taxodium ascendens 'Distichum' and also because what you have given as a name for your tree has both the species names to distichum as well as ascendens. There is however a tree which hopefully is what you have called: Taxodium distichum 'Pendens' and it's one of the most magnificent Taxodium's I've ever seen (*Hint Equil*). I do have a photo but not of the fall color this cultivar exhibits which is an intensely colorful mixture of light reds, yellows, and oranges. It's simply breathtaking.

Here it is photographed in August 2005 at The Harper Collection in Tipton, Michigan:
