the knees you mention that come off the roots are as far as I know called neumatophers, and they rise especially on very damp floors, as a way for the tree to level the amount of oxigen that otherwise wouldnt get if completely flooded
They dont know why they put out knees. They suspect its for stability. Knees can't be reproduced in bonsai without the tree being collected from the wild.
Question,, I'm growing four bonsai in water, (central Florida). To date 4/11/20, three are greening up like normal. One is not, (is it dead), or a late bloomer ?
can you cut some of the bottom branches off so you can walk underneath the tree and if so when can I do it? also how far apart should I keep a Redwood from it if planting 2-3' Redwood within 5-6' of the Bald Cypress which already is 5' or should I not do that?
Jose Cordero It depends on how you want to use it Jose. They can grow to about 35ft wide but some people have used them for a hedge and would plant them closer together in that case. Here's a US Forest Service fact sheet with info. hort.ufl.edu/database/documents/pdf/tree_fact_sheets/taxdisa.pdf Thanks for watching!
I live adjacent to the Lower CAche River and its Wetlands in southern Illinois. We have record cypress with 209 knees and one up to 1,500 years old. I need information on the effect of permanent water on cypress trees. Can you help?
I love my bald Cyprus. It’s about three and a half years old 🥹
We grow these in New England as well. Beautiful tree

Great video! Thank you 🌳
Same treatment for the seedlings, lots of water and sunshine?
Beautiful

They grow in Massachusetts as well

will these trees soak up water ,my back yard used to be a pond,just rushes took over
Yes it will
Theres a ton of them in the florida everglades
Thanks for the info. I'm panicking now. Mine is close to the sewage tank.
Can't trim bottom branches if used as street tree so ppl can walk underneath?
I am planning to make a bonsai out of it. Can you basically leave the pot in a big puddle of water and let it sit there forever ?
Yes. You can grow in a container withe no holes in it also.
Mine is non symmetrical. Is it safe to trim it so it is coned shape? My branches grew at irregular lengths is more pear shaped.
It will tend toward not being symmetrical, especially as it gets older. This is similar to Eastern Redcedar trees
That's a Pond Cypress he's standing in front of Taxodium ascendens. The leaf branching is on top of the limbs.
how many feet apart should you plant these trees from each other?
