Thomas J, thanks for the article on the bald cypress. I just purchased a skinny one(6'-0) from one of the big boxes(Lowe's)and was unsure what to do with it. Nothing @ the bottom 4'-0, just stuff on the top 2'-0. Thought I would just leave it in the pot or plant it in the ground for the time being due to the heat in my area (Houston).
Your post came at the right time. I am leaving it alone for now. Has anyone airlayred a bald cypress? If that can be done I would do that to the top to get a tree of about 2'-6. Then would do a chop to get one from the bottom part to come up with another one of about 3'-0 or shorter.
Any ideas??
