One of my favorite trees (maybe ever). Can't stop looking at that beautiful movement in the trunk. Never seen a bald cypress growing that way, but it is gorgeous. Can't wait to see how the tree responds.
Nice tree, Mexico national tree, here there are some taxodiums as old as 2000 years, yours is beautiful. The name of the tree in nahuatl language is Ahuehuete, meaning the old of the water. It is named Sabino too, is more common the first one. Greetings from Mexico.
What a surprise to see that you have a Bald Cypress, living in south Florida it is one of my favorites. I have 7 3-4 year old seedlings that I will make into a forest planting next year. I was very glad to see that you did not turn yours into a flat top as I think they are such a beautiful tree if left to grow naturally.
@@edwardhudson7790 I water mine twice a day plus they are sitting in an area of my yard where the excess water from my orchid irrigation shed runs off too.
Baldy in the UK? Wowwww, I’m in Florida here and Louisiana these bald cypresses are huge and they love the humidity. I have my baldy bonsai in a big humidity tray to keep him moist all the time, they love water. Try to keep yours in a shaded area but very hot and humid and give him very good amount of water daily. Of course if it’s not hot don’t water him. The reason why I have mine in water it’s cos it’s Florida. It’s 90 plus degrees daily. They do like to be on the wet side, lots of them grow in the lakes and swamps. That’s why they’re called swamp cypress.Nice trees you have. Good luck with that baldy.
I think the a hungry rabbit in a freshly sprouting meadow is the only time I’ve seen faster trimming! 🤣 Great tree! And love that you are keeping to your Dad’s/Original design!!
Great job on a fabulous Taxodium. That continuous sinuous taper is something else... and the foot flare is to die for! A unique and insanely handsome Taxodium which will haunt me forever. I want! Lol
Majestic. Great nebari and trunk movement and taper. Looking ahead is part of the bonsai journey of a tree, and I am looking forward to the next part. Thanks.
Nice trunk & surface roots. Though your pruning was bold, your explanation & thought process was re-assuring. Still, if that was my tree, i would be crying now after seeing how much you took off :-) Of course, its for the best. Thank you for this video.
Cool vid. The trunk on that tree is a real showpiece I’ve a large old Dawn Red that’s got a few dead established branches this year. I should probably chop them like you did with that tree
Bald cypress is an amazing species. They thrive in water. I have 10 of them as pre-bonsai. I'm submerging mine in water during the summer so the bases will be large like the ones growing in southern United States swamps. That's a beautiful tree. Thanks for the video!
the styling is quite different than the natural form these trees have in nature, In many ways I like this better than the flat top style which is more natural. I have a slight preferance for Taxodium mucronatum. For those considering propagating consider choosing the Mexican Bald Cypress over Taxodium distichum. Mucronatum tends to naturally form faster taper as the trunks are naturally much wider compared to bald and pond cypress. Thank you for a nice video. Mats H
you have one of the best looking BCs on the planet. keep soil moist in spring and summer and itll go nuts !! and lean that thing forward on the next repot. beautiful mate.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your videos, thank you for sharing your trees with us! This is a stunning tree, so different from the norm, love it! I’m looking forward to the next “gem of a tree” you’ll be sharing with us! Would be awesomeness if you could do a bench tour for those of us too far away to visit. So many lovely trees in the background. Ps, love your chow chow!
You are right. I haven't seen any Baled Cypress like yours., But I love it. All of them here are flat top. Very interesting to see something different. Love your video's.
Wow!, Fabulous tree Corin!! I have one that my old pal Don Smith (Stymie, Rip) gave me some years ago, Nowhere near the size of this one, Also, It is as you mentioned, Very straight!!👍
Another goodn Corin, I really enjoy the time you invest in giving us small amounts of your skills.. I can not wait to follow this tree all the way.. Bless you .
As someone who lives in the southeastern U.S., and have a swamp full of these trees across the street..the shape u made, is exactly how they grow here(minus the movement in the trunk) they grow straight up…great video
I agree with your concept of rounded top rather than flat top . some bonsai folks from the US tend to over manipulate the bald cypress to an extreme and the trwea can look very ugly in my opinion. Yours looks just great, thanks for your learned instructions !
Great video, i love my swampies. Im very happy with the way you addressed the season rather than purely the month, its helpful for those of us in the southern hemisphere. Cheers
We have some nice bald cypress down in the southeast... in Alabama.. we don't have many flat tops here.. more in Louisiana... but yours is really cool...
Loved watching this. Im a newbie to the art of bonsai so I am always a bit shocked when people are trimming so much away... But its a beauty for sure... and Ill be sure to watch the wiring of it. Thank you!
Another great video guy's i love the base of the tree and the foilage , tree has a fantastic old feel and look to it and i imagine after the 5 years it's going to be amazing . Looking forward to the updates!
Great video! Soo happy to see this video i just bought one of these. I love the foliage color and the trunks just look soo majestic.i cant wait to see upcoming videos on this tree
Corin really enjoy and appreciate your explanation as you work. Going hunting for Bald Cypress in about a week in Louisiana. Hope to come home with some great material to work.
That bald cypress is nice. We see those shapes in the wild . All kinds of shapes really . They get huge, truly massive growing on the banks of some of our central Texas rivers. They have big cypress knees also, really amazing. will they get the knees in a pot ?
thank you so much for a different post. I asked you definitely provided. do you leave it in tub of water for summer and your pruning looks savage but what a result you are a master. ded set leddgen. you are an inspiration. love the vids
I have a large old Metasequoia that loves water too. I’ve put it in a large bowl with water. And it grows like a weed. It even grows roots into the water. This way there’s no risk of it drying out. It immediatly sheds branches when that happens. Your bald cypres is really special. I love the base and the trunk. Fantastic tree! And the pot it’s in is reaaly good too. I’m curious how the tree progresses. Thank for posting this!
The little woman and I have been looking for property in Missouri, USA. We are looking for forest and pasture and I'm getting impatient. I can't wait to venture out for a Bald Cypress collection!
Great tree with super lines. You've done a good job shaping the tree and you are wise to trim first and wire (now, this time of year) after. Ya might try 'ripping off' branches off the trunk when needed and adding cut paste. The ripping technique and cut paste makes for a more 'natural' healing scar.
Awsome video, I get alot of useful tips from watching your channel. I'm struggling with my Swampie the leaves are turning brown on the tips and the tree overall does not look happy, I've now moved it from being in full sun into semi-shade and also do not keep it submerged in water constantly anymore to see if this makes a difference. Any thoughts? I'm based in South Africa. Keep up the great videos.
I have a very large Bald cypress and have a Forest, I love bald cypress but a swamp cypress is different from a bald cypress, I need one of those pots but living in Virginia it might be a little expensive to get it here🤙🏼😎
One of my favorite trees (maybe ever). Can't stop looking at that beautiful movement in the trunk. Never seen a bald cypress growing that way, but it is gorgeous. Can't wait to see how the tree responds.
The tree has some great structure. I’m looking forward to seeing how it goes next year.
Was a follow up ever done for this? Cant find it on the channel. Would like to see it after wiring and repotting.
That is one nice tree. Thanks Corin
i'm looking at all the stuff in the background - so much greatness :D

Beautiful tree. Thanks for sharing. That root base is amazing 😀😀🍻
Beyond stunning
Some nice colours in the background, maybe a bench tour is in order!
YES PLEASE :D

That’s what I do, natural on all of mine, also they live in water full time except in the winter
@@edwardhudson7790 I water mine twice a day plus they are sitting in an area of my yard where the excess water from my orchid irrigation shed runs off too.
Agreed...
You do have some really beautiful trees. 😊
A great video and such a wonderful tree. 👍
being able to have the type of tree you like, in the style you like, is such a fun part of bonsai.

Very beautiful tree, Great video as always.
I have my bald cypress sitting in water all growing season they love it
Watching from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹, nice tree, can’t wait for the other videos.
Great job on a fabulous Taxodium. That continuous sinuous taper is something else... and the foot flare is to die for! A unique and insanely handsome Taxodium which will haunt me forever. I want! Lol

Taper is fantastic
Fantastic tree and a fantastic job 🌟 👍

Beautyful Taxodium. Would love to have a tree of this species!
Gracias. Qué enormidad de árbol.....
Brilliant as usual.
Nice work mate
Great Video 👍
Stunning tree!
Still waiting for the promised update on the beauty!
The little woman and I have been looking for property in Missouri, USA. We are looking for forest and pasture and I'm getting impatient. I can't wait to venture out for a Bald Cypress collection!
great stuff as always!
Can I request that you do a video walk through of your nursery? I’d love to see the benches and all the trees too. Love your vids and trees!
Your wish may come true very soon !

Looks great

wauuu what a nice tree
that's the best bald cypress i've ever seen :D
How many have you seen ! lol
That tree you’re standing next to looks more like an oil painting than a living thing.
Your new subscriber here..
Would hanging it upside down cause the branches to grow towards the roots instead of wiring it down?
I have a very large Bald cypress and have a Forest, I love bald cypress but a swamp cypress is different from a bald cypress, I need one of those pots but living in Virginia it might be a little expensive to get it here🤙🏼😎
Hoping to see a follow up on this Tree.
wow so nice
Which bird singing?
I m from INDIA. I want to know, what is your dormancy period ? And from which month to which month. This pruning video prepared in which month. Please
Has there been any follow up videos on this tree?
No, not yet, but its here at the nursery on display !
They are really easy to get to back bud and you can't give them too much water
