Swamp cypress growth rate?

Post by Hornet »

I got a small swamp cypress today for $2, trunk base approx 2cm, how long would it take (grown in a pot, plenty of water and ferts) to get up to 10-15cm trunk base?

Hi John,
That's a hard question to answer.. There are many things that can play apart in how quickly it grow, but generally speaking it will get to that size quicker than most species ;)
Under the right conditions perhaps 3 years.
