Glad to be back after the uneventful hurrican evacuation drill from last week.

Purchased an 8 feet tall Bald Cypress from Home Depot 2 weeks ago. It is about 3 inches wide at the base with nice buttressing and nebari. I went ahead and choppped off the to to about 22 inches in height. I plan to create a jin at the apex cut in the future.

Here is my question, how long until I start seeing signs of new branch budding on this thing? I am new to this species but I understand they are fast growers. So far nothing seems to be going on with the stump. I don't think is dead either. It is getting plenty of water and I am keeping its "feet" wet all the time.
