How one collection trip changed my direction with Bald Cypress

[Cajunrider]

I have about a dozen 2-3 year old Bald Cypress in various stage of trunk building. After just one trip to my friend's land, I will be chopping them all to make small BC bonsai for fun. I now can buy bigger trunk BCs if I want them. No more spending time to build trunk.
I will be posting the BC chops soon

And just like that, this year old BC was chopped.

What soil composition do you find works best / gets best growth for bald cypresses?

For BC in development I use the cheapest compost manure at the big box store. Only $2 a bag and BCs grow like crazy. The 6ft tall you see in the picture above is only 16 month or so old and that was from seed.

They air layer fairly easy as well.
