We all three escaped the worst of rita, for which I am truly grateful even though she managed to bring some serious heat our way...As to the bald cypress, as Mr. Andy stated this is definately not the best time to do a chop...That said, since you have hopefully not done root pruning you may very well see some new leaves this season, although the daylight length is coming to the point that the trees are beginning to shut down...If you do not see new growth this year, don't give up on the tree...Keep it moist through the winter but leave outdoors...I am almost certain considering the species abillity to survive, you will see new growth early to mid spring...
Regards
Behr
