I have a bald cypress tree with a six inch diameter trunk at the base. It has really nice nebari, but i want it to develop some nice butresses and right now it has none. how can i develop the butresses? should i go ahead and chop it this year or continue to let it grow? will it form butresses after i chop the trunk? also i know the 6 to one proportion rule, but how tall should i do the initial trunk chop?
