Mendocino Pygmy Cypress

Doubt if it just snapped without some outside help maybe a dog, possum, raccoon etc. That bites sorry to see that.

If you can keep it in a high humidity environment it should root.

That is horrible! I repotted mine about a month ago into an Anderson flat and have it propped up with a board. I never thought that a cypress could just snap like that. No dogs in your backyard? Big birds?

It might be due to a little dog from the neighbor or opossum!

I'm with Bob. Treat it like a juniper cutting and see if it will root. Don't just throw it out without trying...

How is your pygmy cypress doing? Did you manage to get the top to root?

Mine is growing very strongly... in fact much more strongly than any of my junipers. I repotted it into a good pumice mix in an Anderson flat back in December and it did not seem to be negatively impacted.

I have not talked to Ian in a couple of months. Yo @ianb how is your pygmy cypress?

Excellent! I might get another one in the next convention here
Looks like Ian is very busy at this time.

What it looked like when I bought it from the GSBF show in late Oct:



What it looks like today, more or less six months later. I repotted in December. You can see roots coming out of the bottom of the Anderson flat:
