I like your answer too, Ron. I travel a lot and have seen Cypress in nearly every environment in which they will grow, and the knees seem to have little to do with water unless it is just moist soil in general. Just this past week I was in Tampa and there was an area that had BC's planted in rows along the interstate. Yes, the interstate, yes, as landscape trees. They were on an elevated portion of the berm with water actually flowing away from them into a drainage ditch, and there were more knees than I have ever seen.

Go figure.
