that is amazing!!! and thanks for the info on the defense course. I wondered how they kept everyone busy over 4 days. the training sounds pretty comprehensive....

Hey Will, Absolutely Beautiful Tree!!!! I hope it survives!! I can't wait (but I must have patience) to see what you do with the deadwood. I have in-laws in Vegas and I had given up on the idea that there was anything worth finding out there (not like it would survive out here anyway). Also...

Sorry Irene, I posted my response to the quote without noticing the intent of your post. Ted

However in one of the more recent cases that I filed, the detectives believe a squirrel killed and carried the tree off. lol Ted

I agree their prices are a bit high especially for the quality. I did not know it was on consignment from Meehans. The tree I got was a pretty good price for the size and thickness of the trunk. If it was at Behnkes it would have cost a lot more. If you go to Behnkes for a BC, expect to pay no...

You might also look at Wolftrap Nursery in VA. They have bonsai and landscape plants. When I visit, I don't tend to buy the bonsai. I got a bald cypress in there landscape section a couple years ago that has a 4.5" trunk. Ted

Great trees!!! Will have to read it more later. Thanks for the post. Ted

Does Scooby have any little doos? Ted

Hey Victrinia It is funny as hell and irritating as hell. I felt like my parents used to when I was a child and I did something very wrong but so funny,,,,,, like when I was 7yo my dad hired me for $8 to pick some weeds. When he left and after I worked for a little while, I decided to hire a kid...

Hey all, I need protection. I have a mob syndicate of squirrels running their operation out of my backyard. When I moved into the house 2 yrs ago, the squirrels immediately came to our door expecting large sums of peanuts in payment for protection (previous owners fed them). They would...

Hey Duane, I remember seeing this tree on another forum. This is a great tree and the flowers are terrific!! Its thriving under your care. I agree, I think you should grow one of the branches back. Seeing to much of the trunk is distracting from the overall beauty of the tree. Keep the updates...

Emergency repot! What was going on with it? I definitely feel lucky with the BC from HD. Who would have thought they would carry it. I just happen to enter HD through the garden department out of habit and look what I found :). I cant say that I will take this same risk next year though... On...

Thanks everyone, I am really excited about this one. I think it has potential and will be really fun to work with. I will watch out to make sure its not getting to much sun though in Maryland, we cant compare to the heat in Alabama. Plus, I have 6 large trees in my back yard. Thanks Will, much...

Again, thanks a lot for your advice. Glad I got to meet you this weekend. Its nice to put a face to a name. Hope your are enjoying your trees from the auction!!! Ted

Thanks. I have been looking for more pictures. I live visit the DC arboretum somewhat frequently so have been studying on of Vaughn's flat top bald cypress. Thanks for the link. I've seen them with the traditional apex. I have another BC that I will do that with but I seem to gravitate...
