I was just at Mary Madison's where she has tons of collected cypresses. the
ones she has recently potted are in 8-10 inch deep pots. R Kessler In
Vermont, where it snowed yesterday.

Subject: [IBC] bald cypress repotting


I bought a bald cypress on special last fall--$15. It was about 8 ft
high but I cut it back to about 5 ft. The base is about 3". It's
potbound in a 3 gallon nursery pot and I'd like to put it in a box or a
flatter container of some kind. How much of the root ball can I cut off
and be safe? Would it be better off in a deeper container with the need
for a higher level of moisture? Thanks.
