Nice piece of material. How tall is it?

Nice tree. I have 3 BCs in pots. Two have air layers on and I can see some roots already. I will collect the air layers and do the trunk chop this spring. The other one I bought on clearance and was really weak. I'm nursing it to health this year. I may trunk chop that too next year since my goal is to keep my BC at below 40" tall.

I like! Nice looking!
I have a buttload of seeds, gathered from cones last month, cold stratifying in moss, in my fridge until April. Anxious to see how many actually sprout and survive...

Spring finally has this guy growing. I made some tweaks over the spring to lean more towards that flat top design. It's crazy, in my mind the initial design was a "flat top"but I left the lower branches too long and numerous. I'm much happier with the silhouette now. I'll keep refining it in the future.

Its funny, I brought 4 trees (two BC, one hackberry, and one hornbeam) up from Florida in February of this year and those trees have been the slowest to grow up here in North NJ. They are just now starting to move and leaf out. I was wondering if that was a result of the move. Like they haven't received the warm temperatures they're accustomed and haven't responded to spring like the native trees.I was starting to get worried but I think they're going to be ok. I'm going to let them just grow this season and gain strength.
As I acquired this tree in February, I haven't had a full winter with it. I had it in an unheated sunroom where the temperate stays around 40-45 over the winter. My plan next winter is to bring my "Florida trees" in after the first night of freezing temps. They will stay in my sunroom till mid to late April, like they did this year.

Just wanted to post an update on my smaller Bald Cypress as it heads into the winter season. It’s a little shabby at the moment. I also Changed the front this year.

I like the curve in the lower trunk and taper. I am up to 10 now with 5 in one forest planting to which I plan to add a couple more smaller ones next spring. After Zach Smith ships me my new big boy next spring I think I will stop acquiring BC and move to something a little smalller.

Oof. That looks like so much fun! What a monster!
Here’s my larger one. I only have two. But i also have limited space so it’s all i can handle.
