It's time for this tree to have its own thread.

Waking up healthy in the spring I can’t wait to unwrap the trunk this summer.

How likely are you to step out into your backyard one day, your foot plants into the ground, and you simply grow into a bald cypress tree?

I will take care and not take off my mud boots else the roots will take. I've got grandbabies to chase. New roots are not advisable.

Back to this tree, while traveling last week, my mind kept coming back to this tree. I am going to carve this thing soon.

Carved to imitate a BC with apex torn away by wind and the tear goes down the trunk.
