I think that you are expecting too much, I often will not even check to see if cuttings have rooted for one full year. Things that will root in three months are willow, mums and other soft wood cuttings. Bald cypress cuttings should be taken in the spring and protected from freezing there first winter and if they come out the next spring with new foliage you may have roots. I have found that seeds are much easier and quicker. Seeds that I have put into a bed in the very early spring are already up to 30 in tall and 1/2 to 3/4 in thick. I am already collecting five gallon buckets of seeds to germinate for next spring. This year I will be germinating bald cypress and montizuma cypress seeds. Good luck with your cuttings.
