Sometimes I have to remind myself how fortunate I am to live so close to world class potential bald cypress trees. This pic was taken today after a 7 mile drive and a 100 ft walk from the truck. 3 trees with 9" to 12" bases all in a space of about 10 ft. Nice fluted bases below the soil line. The taper could be better, but they would do in a pinch. I collected one this spring with a 12" base not 15 ft from the furthest one in the pic. Life is indeed good.
