Bald Cypress in Arizona
Hello,
Arbor Day Foundation sent me 8 seedlings that are doing well in a large plastic tote and have grown from about 6 inches tall to over two feet, under the shade of a very mature mesquite. I have read that best time to plant is November. I know that these trees require good drainage and want to be sure I give them the best elevation and exposure to grow well into maturity here in Zone 9.
Any advice you can offer is very much appreciated.
