It is a weeping variant of bald cypress.

Hi All, sorry if this is the wrong spot for this but I didn't want to start a new thread for just this.
Around my neighborhood is an area that is taken care of by landscapers. I noticed this little guy the other day and it doesn't match the shrubs surrounding it.
My questions are:
1. Does anyone happen to recognize it? (I'm thinking maybe some sort of natal plum?)
2. Would this thing be worth trying to collect? It looks like a ready made (although maybe a bit boring) little tree. I think I could probably slip the landscapers $20 to pull it for me
Thank you!

Natal plum has wicked thorns, don't see any on this plant?

No thorns... I thought maybe there were some natal plums without thorns but I guess that rules it out?

That’s what my plant id app says . Being a northerner I have no idea . But it’s a cool looking tree . I would dig it yourself and not trust the landscapers . There liable to be pretty brutal on the roots

Looks like a privet to me. If so, it should survive collecting no matter how rough you get.

Looks like Waxleaf Privet to me.

I'm thinking privet too. It looks like it may have a mondo trunk below ground. I'd immediately go get my shovel if presented with the opportunity.

80% have budded. Only the few collected in the past two weeks haven't budded yet.
Next 8 weeks is the critical time of forming roots. The buds are from reserve. I am hoping the roots will follow soon.

Even up in the north the collected tree is doing great , like you said fingers crossed on roots!

Looking good. Weather in Chicago will get down to the low 20s some time in the next 10 days. Make sure you protect it because it is tender.

I take it in at night and have nice little spot indoors that it has been loving, tons of good lights for it

What a difference a day of sunshine made! 100% budded. That included a bunch in the two 9 tree forests.

I found this little gem of a Carolina red maple today. Seems it grew around two rocks.
Do you have any collected BC that are only budding on one branch and nowhere else? I have one that has no branches and is budding all over (3rd pic) but this one is only budding on this one little branch.

Lacking options for good collecting close by but got out and snagged this little EWP yesterday, not sure what I want to do with it but really digging the look with the natural deadwood
