Collected bald cypress for sale

[Cajunrider]

I have bald cypress collected from the swamp for sale. These are pre-bonsai BC with major root prune done and new roots growing. Shipping will be via UPS. You will be charged what UPS charges me.

I have BC of all sizes/prices. PM me with size and/or price range if you are interested.

Were they all collected this spring, or are you selling trees that have had a year to get established?

Both. The ones collected earlier this year already have plenty of good roots.

You do get an earlier start to the growing season down there than we do up here. My trees haven’t all leafed out yet. One of my oak’s buds are just now starting to swell and crack open. I’m not sure why it’s taking its time compared to others from the same crop of acorns. I’m chalking it up to genetic variability.

It's because the spring up here has been chaotic as far as temperatures go. In Va., we've been 15-20 degrees below normal for weeks. We've had spikes into the 90's as well. All my trees leafed out a month or more ago, including my BC. My live oak has been shedding leaves for a month and is now pushing new leaves.

With the extreme lower temps in the last couple of weeks, everything has slowed down considerably. Where my BC, cedar elms and live oak began pushing growth aggressively in the two or three days of 80-90 F temps in mid-April, it's taken two weeks for them to push extension growth. It has been getting down into the mid-lower 40's here at night. There was snow yesterday in the higher ridges in the Blue Ridge in Western Va. and W.Va yesterday.

All this means soil temps in pots remains chaotically low. Forty five degree soil or just below reduces growth significantly. Soil temp above 50 into 70's or 80's steps on the accelerator--particularly for species native to warmer parts of the U.S. It's supposed to be 70's by Saturday and warmer next week, so I expect things to pick up.

Tree pictures would certainly be helpful.

@August44 Did you want to BC before. I remember you were looking for one a few weeks ago.

I have to say the price is too good to pass! Two weeks ago I went to Lowe's to get some potting soil for flower beds. Stop by the tree section to check them out. I saw a few BC that has the trunk gird of about big toe and they go for 60 a piece. I will buy if you post some of your Mayhaw up for sale.

At that price you owe me at least $400 for the forest
What do you have in mind for the Mayhaw? To be honest the Mayhaw is rarer than the BCs.

@Cajunrider do you have any little bitty ones? They look like fun and would probably survive the winter in the garage with the azaleas.

How itty bitty?
To get a good looking base I would just chop a small one for you. BC had to get to a certain size before it gets interesting.
Number 4 is small but will need to be chopped and developed.
Number 8 is just a bit bigger and is super interesting as is.
Both can easily be kept in a garage in winter.

@Carol 83 Am voting for #8.

I'm pretty sure if I bought a tree that big, it would cause some marital discord. We have a big anniversary coming up this summer and I'm hoping for really good present! Seriously, I just don't have room for something that big. Cool trees though.

Man, I’ve drooled over your BC’s since finding this site. They are just awesome looking trees. One day I’ll be able to own one. Until then I’ll just keep drooling and daydreaming about it.

Thanks for remembering that! I had already purchased several before I saw this. Mine are not growing as yet because we still have colder weather here in NE Oregon, quite unlike Western Oregon by the way.
