Bald Cypress hardwood containers

Description

Bald Cypress is a large needle leaf deciduous, cone-bearing tree 80-100 ft high, with long straight trunk, much enlarged and buttressed at base, often angled and with cone-shaped “knees” from submerged roots. Common and dominant in wet soils bordering streams and lakes. Bald Cypress is a handsome large shade and ornamental tree introduced northward in Oklahoma not only along lakes but in drier upland soils of cities. The distinctive “knees” are absent away from water.

Hardwood containers are grown for conservation plantings on smaller acreages. If you are planting a windbreak, wildlife habitat or any other conservation planting, these seedlings are just the ticket. They are grown in containers that are 2 5/8 inches in diameter and 10 inches long. These seedlings are $5.00 each and are only available in flats of 25 per species. The minimum order is 25 trees. A flat of 25 costs $125. FRC does not ship containerized seedlings. Containerized seedlings must be picked up at FRC within 30 days of notice.
