Ken, you have inspired me. I moved to South Carolina about five years ago and all this warm humid air must be good for something! I have always admired thoe big beautiful evergreens like fir and larch with it's fall colors but no chance for them here. Bald Cypress, I can see from yours, can be big and impressive. And what better place than the lowcountry of South Carolina. Thank you so much for unabashedly sharing your many years of experiance! Now I feel confident to tackle a new species and if i need more info I can look back at all that you have posted...invaluable. Thanks from a new fan...Don.

Must be nice to go into the swamps when it is warm we go in Feb down in Florida

Looks very happy to be waking up from it's winter nap  Mine are waking up as well but they don't come close to yours or John's.

this is  my favorite bald cypress on any forum. especially when you see how it started and the  technique you used to bring t where it is now. looking forward seeing more development on this awesome tree.

You can get some very large Chinese Zisha pots from 789kentbonsaistore on eBay, I got a 32" oval for a BC forest planting for 200$.  I'll admit that they're not as nice as handmade Langs or Raynors or the like, but they're attractive and inexpensive, I find them worthwhile for larger pots.
