Took a trip to the local nursery today and found a bunch of Montezuma Cypress... (even though I call and said they didn't carry them ).
Anyway... it was $39.99 but they gave it to me for $29.99 cus the top had a few broken branches...HEHE.
I didn't have much luck with my Bald Cypress.... Not sure it was 100% my fault.... arrived with barely any roots... (bonsai lesson 372 paid for).
So this guy is super root bound in its pot... so much so I can't get the soil wet in the ball.... the guy at the nursery said it was safe to root prune still but I figure I would run it by ya'll. Ill save the chop for later on in the summer. Going to put it in a tub with drainage holes and use 50/50 pine bark and lava.... Good?
Pic not so great... there's actually some nice taper at the base. Ill post another pic later.
BONUS!!!!! Free praying mantis case!!!
