Can bald cypress stand middel east heat?

mansour

hi
I have been into bonsai since 2 years, with a collection of 6 trees and forest of ficus trees who are very cheap to aquire here.But i always wanted a bald cupress and i have found a site on the net to buy from them 2 or 3 bald cypress .But i wonder will they tolerate the heat of the middel east , we do have water running in the garden . And what are the requirements for these trees.
please let me know
thnx

I don't know for certain, having never lived in that part of the world. However I might guess that if anything can stand that heat, bald cypress would be a candidate. Mine just adored 100 degree F summers in Georgia, and they are perfectly happy spending the hot months sitting in a tub of standing water. My only concern would be whether the air and winds would be too dry - in Georgia at least it was also very humid when it was that hot.

Hi,
I live in very similar area, we have a lot of bald cypress and for sure, they tolerate the heat, on the other end they are very difficult growing as a bonsai.
