Cypress Stumps
Just wanted to start a thread showing some of the cypress stumps I have been getting this year. This is the only one I have a picture of so far. I'll get the rest up over the next few days. Look at the size of this monster 12 inch trunk
 ! Sorry about the shadow, but the sun went behind clouds just after taking this picture. Last edited by Whimsical : 18-Feb-2003 at 03:18 AM. |

Nice trunk. Good taper too. I've heard you could cut the roots back that hard and they'll grow right back but I never have worked with it myself. Do you think you can tilt the planting angle enough or find a front to make a formal upright?

Thanks,
I haven't even had time to think about any definate path this tree is going to take. I had been planning on digging these trees since last year. But of course, my boss has decided I should be working 55 hours a week lately, so its all I can do to find time to dig them. I'll have some better ones to show you guys real soon. The roots on these things are amazing from a bonsai standpoint. You can find a tree 15 feet tall and it will be loaded with fiberous roots within a foot of the trunk.

Here are a few more I have collected. I plan on getting a couple more tomorrow. This first one has a trunk of about 14 inches. It is a far more magnificent tree in person. I will probably take a picture tomorrow from a better angle to show this sweet trunk.

I would recommend potting in a nice deep pot with plenty of soil over that root base and not rushing it into a bonsai pot for two years.
I'm working on a piece right now that will show you the result of material such as this that is handled incorrectly when collected... I'll post it here in about a week, then you can decide for yourself! |

Does anyone else think that their trunks look like sequoias ?
Should be great after some work ! Could you show us the whole tree ? Fanis

Closely related to sequoias... You're looking at about the whole tree... ;^)
You basically collect a big "cutting"... Jim Stone TX |
