Found a Bald Cypress patch growing from a broken water line.

Hi Metairiematthew, if you ship them as bare root can you or anyone else give us some advise on what to do once we receive them. how should we plant these or care of them initially?

 

[Deleted member 49943]

What I've learned so far is keep em wet. Baby them given the time of year they were pulled off the streets. I'm sure someone on here has better or more advice than myself.

@Metairiematthew Good save for these babies!

Thats very generous of you. I find myself in the same position wanting to share. Mine are assorted species from cuttings and volunteers in the garden. I recommend having no hole in your forests pot? Saves on constant watering that they'll still need? And your even hotter where your at?

I'm up here in Canada on the other ocean. Ha.
We do have a cypress bog at the botanical gardens.
I have a Montezuma forest planting in a shallow pot without holes and another one started on a slab from its cuttings.



And a single bald cypress with a mystery tree grafted on top that I usually keep submerged. No knees yet.
Good luck with your project.

I trunk chopped it this spring and Its already almost as big. Any Idea what the tree is grafted on top? Glyptostrobus pencilis/ Chinese swamp cypress? But the leaves are much different in photos.

Grabbed a few more, dug them up nicely and made humidity domes. Still hundreds left.

If you have any more to spare, I would love to get some. I’m trying to collect all I can to start a forest.

What ever is alive late September should be fine to ship.

Well you do have to let them breath every couple days. I've clones many a plant and yes you will need to dry out and re bag.
