Posts: 1,158	Bald Cypress Article All, I got my monthly newsletter from Dallas Bonsai just the other day. I was reading through it and found a link to an article about Bald Cypress. This is a 2 part article titled Nursery Bald Cypress: A Good Tree For Beginners and is written by our very own Thomas J! If you have a couple of free minutes, and are interested in this species please check out the article. Nursery Bald Cypress: A Good Tree For Beginners Thomas: This is an easy to follow article and I am anxiously waiting for the second part. Thanks Adam

I've been interested in bald cypress for a while now and it's good to hear that they are an option for even a newbie like myself. The only part that i had a little trouble following was the very last part about the second trunk chop. Maybe a diagram or something to illustrate the procedure could begin the second installment. Now he just needs to come out with a manual on Chinese Elms..... although it might just be as simple as "More Pinching!" __________________ <------------ Thomas Newton Do not be afraid to go out on a limb ...

I think we will both have to wait and see what Thomas gives us in the second installment. As for the Elms... I agree. Thomas' Elms are truly magnificent and I would love to see an article from him about working with those!

Actually I was kind of wondering if some might need to see in detail what I was referring to in the last chop with the coping saw. I will make sure to include a somewhat detailed drawing in the conclusion next month, and if someone still needs help in understanding it I will do my best to explain here on this thread. Thanks for the kind words about the article, and maybe I will do something about a ch. elm article down the road. __________________ Thomas J.
