Bald Cypress...elegant form

[johng]

Here is a tree that was collected in summer of 2020. It had its first work = chop, carve, and branch selection in 12/21. It was wired again and repotted into this Sharon Edwards Russell container in 6/22. I wired it again in 12/22. I hope for it to be ready for a show with 2 more sessions of wiring...probably 1 more year. I think it is about 42" over the pot.

Wide lip???? I don’t really have a name for it. I’ve seen several other similar but smaller. Hopefully someone else will chime in with a better name for the style.

Very nice. I am hoping to develop some of my newly collected ones in the same manner.

I also think the pot looks great with the tree!
