Swamp Cypress Nebari

Post by one_bonsai »

I can't seem to find much information on developing swamp cypress nebari. Would it be similar to other deciduous species where you prune the roots hard in winter and then plant them on a board?

You may need to air or ground layer a set of roots. Swampies are notorious for having huge roots that go straight down with a twist or two.
