I would like to pick up a collected bald cypress, I am attracted to these for some od reason. Any one in my zone have care input for me?

Thank you

You should have no problem caring for a bald cypress in 8B. They are natives and grow as far north as Maryland. They love water, but other than that mine is treated much like my other deciduous/elongating trees.

There's also an entire species study thread out there already. I would link it, but I'm tech illiterate. Search Taxodium and you will find the species study. Good luck!

Thread 'Species Study - Taxodium distichum'

I've been fascinated with this particular species. If you do a search on BonsaiNut, there are so many threads and posts on this species.
I found so much information on this thread: https://www.bonsainut.com/threads/2019-season-bc-yamadori-mega-thread-d.36707/
And much inspiration from this thread: https://www.bonsainut.com/threads/bald-cypress.30848/
After playing with this species for a few years I have learned some lessons.

1. Forget about trying to grow BC from cuttings. Growing them from seeds is actually much much faster for most of us.
2. BC from the big box stores...
