General Plaisiance Bald Cypress.

[Bob Vance]

I took all the advice and did some branch selection on another Bald Cypress. This one is about 2.5-3" in diameter. All advice welcome. Thanks in advanced. I still have like 7 more to Lern on. Unless someone wants one. I will send them one I didn't chop up yet.

It looks a little early to be working on these. Not sure of the back story here but I generally like to let the new branches get a little longer before I start working them. I collect in June and give them at least one full year before I start working on them.

Agree. Down here in Louisiana, it is possible to do branch selection in year 1 after the 1st growing season heading into the second growing season. However, sometimes the tree seems to lag in development compared to other trees that I leave alone for the first year. I now do it only for the most vigorous trees and would only do it after July so the tree has a full first growing season with all the leaves to gather energy.

This looks to be a recently dug tree. If so, leave it alone. A freshly dug and stumped bald cypress needs a year to recover.

Great advice ill let it grow wild for a bit.
