Has anyone grown Taxodium distichum from a small tree? I'm interested
to know how quickly they grow.


Adrian Bloom, 'Conifers for your Garden' says 4-6m in 10 yrs, ultimate
height 30-50m. They like damp or swampy conditions and don't flourish
if too much lime is present in the soil.


Well, he's young, there's no lime and a stream runs through the meadow,
so........... ;-) Thanks, Chris.
