I have a large, 6ft, bald cypress I bought at Home Depot on clearance in the fall of last year, it hasn’t started to but quite yet from winter here in upstate NY, but a quick scratch of the bark shows vibrant green almost everywhere. Now assuming this tree is alive and will come back this year, I need to address the fact that I have a tree that is 3 trees tall for our purposes....
I assume an air layer to get the top portion as one tree would be ideal...can multiple air layers be done at different points on a tree in the same year?
Final thoughts would be to do a hard trunk chop on what remained after the air layer.... that being said, whenever I hear people talk about truck chopping it’s always said to leave a branch remaining. Well the current branch structure of this tree places the first branch at about 4ft off the ground. Would I be able to chop this thing even lower and still have it backbud?
Sorry if this isn’t the right spot for this post, I’m new to the forums
