Hi All,
This is a progression thread on a flat top style bald cypress in my collection. This was one of the first trees I ever purchased back in 2016. I think I paid about $100-$150 for it and couldn't believe I was making such a large purchase (ohh how times have changed....). It was purchased from @Zach Smith at Bonsai South. Here are the initial pictures from October 2016.
That winter I discovered it must have a had a presumed borer infection as the bark on one side completely sloughed off and I found several large holes. Here it is in summer 2017 with the bark sloughed off on one side. I really let it grow in order to thicken up the new apical branch.
