Cool, I'll chunk it in there once we're past the 100-degree days.
I'll worry about it less if it's a little cooler. Once it's

TX is needed?

Thanks,

Maybe Victor will know more, but I have never seen a bald cypress down
here in Austin which is not in an irrigated area. That said, if you
water with soaker hoses, depending on pressure, during the high summer
I'd say about 5 or 6 hours a week making sure you water it deeply.

Also, before you remove it from the container water it ten times, let
the water run out, water it again and again and again till that
rootball is completely saturated. If you don't do it in the
container, it will be virtually impossible to get that part of the
ball watered once in the ground and those are the only roots you have
on there for now.

Sounds good. Thanks to both of you for the help.
