How to curtail the apex leaders growth if at all on Bald Cypress

[Cadillactaste]

So noticing leader of Bald Cypress thickening far faster than the rest of the branches. (Had cut back hard and redoing many branches for added movement.)
You can see the branching off...it's doing great. But it's thickening so quickly. Much more than the other branches and producing ramifications of the main leader as well. Assuming possibly cutting back branch...but pondering how much to take it back to.

Bald cypress want to be BIG, BIG, TALL trees and will grow that way. I'd think maintaining a shohin version of one would be a bit complicated, too. Personally, I think you're going to have to cut the apex, and any other branch that becomes too vigorous, back to almost nothing repeatedly during the growing season to keep it small.

Which is why I removed the last apex. Okay...that's what I needed to know. Thanks Dave...at some point I may decide to allow it to get taller.

It's over here now, she's done a great job with it.

Shohin bald cypress...

This sweet package arrived today. Even happier with it in person. So much detail is hidden and not seen in 2D. Never did I realize I could have one this far north thinking it was a southern swamp tree only. As a conifer lover...this is just a sweet find.
