  • Bald Cypress are some of the coolest tree's, specifically the old flat top ones that have been around for hundred of years. I have tried to achieve that in this tree, way back when I collected it in 2014. It was just a stump then but I kept at it every year. It's finally getting to where I want it and it's a beaut! These guys ,when healthy, just don't stop and are just so cool!
    Any Questions please don't hesitate.
    Think about become a Patreon so I can devote more time to this channel and provide even more content for you as this take a lot of time, despite already working a full time job and really enjoying doing this channel! patreon.com/Gi...
    I simply do Bonsai in parallel with my busy life as a way to relax and connect to nature. I approach bonsai with a very simple approach, simple tools, and just start working.
    More updates to come, and thank you for watching.

    What a well made video. Very enjoyable and I loved watching you work on the tree, especially as it is a species I do not have :)

    Wow! What a tree! seeing you carry it really puts things into perspective!

      It's heavy but not too bad as Cypress wood is a lot like balsa wood but rot resistant - but it's still stupid heavy and awkward
