215 shipping. Wow. That is a bundle. Can I pick c) none of the above? I don't know where Herald is, but if you can swing a plane ticket or gas money in lieu of that $215 shipping, I would get myself invited on a dig and collect a few of these things.

A collected tree is absolutely the way to go for a specimen Bald Cypress. From garden center material you could get a forest going in a decade or so, but, when there are 50-100 year old trees out there waiting for you for the price of a club membership and a saw, I'd say, go for it.

P.S. That is a clumsy trunk chop. The tree might be worth a couple hundred bucks delivered, but that is too much as a total.

Regards,

Matt
