It will be repotted as if it is one tree.Scott Roxburgh wrote:A BIG JOB!
Will they be repotted as the other groups have been or will each tree taken out and repositioned?
All the roots have welded together.

Re: Taxodium distichum var mexicanum (mucronatum)
hi grant, this is without a doubt a stunning group, swamp cypress is one of my favorite species for bonsai,I envy you your colder climate that gives you a great colour on your trees. Once again congratulations on a job well done, wow!

Wow.
I have bought a swamp cyrpus (along with a firethorn) as my beginner tree last weekend. I hope they look as magnificent in another 20 years

Re: Taxodium distichum var mexicanum (mucronatum)
Hi all
Don't forget there is a slight difference between the Swamp cypress and the Montezuma cypress used in this group..
The Swamp cypress is totally deciduous and it is the one that grows in swamps and grows knees. It grows further north (Colder) in the USA.
The Montezuma is semi-evergreen and grows in damp conditions but not swamps and does not grow knees. It grows further south in Mexico (warmer and dryer) It hangs onto its leaves throughout winter and only fully sheds them when they are forced off by the new spring growth.
They are hard to tell apart as bonsai (except in winter of course) but the seed and cones are different enough when collecting seed from large trees.

Re: Taxodium distichum var mexicanum (mucronatum)
And also visited the taxodium mucronatum group. I don't think it has been repotted since the photos previously and it is doing very well.
