  • A bald cypress with natural rot has much to teach us about carving and better representing natural decay.

    Have a great time in Denver. I love bald cypress!

      The convention was great. The altitude took a little getting used to. Mostly because before showing up in Denver, I camped at Mueller State Park. My campsite was at 9681 feet. THAT is too damned high for someone who lives below sea level.

      Oscar! Great to see you in the comments. Denver's botanical garden was a great place to host a convention. The facility was perfect. People were fantastic. Hope to see you down the road.

    The trees you have are amazing. You inspire me to try a flat top bald cypress.

    • @BillsBayou
      @BillsBayou  Před rokem +1

      Thanks for watching. Bald cypress are easy. If you want, you can just do basic upright styles. If you want to try flat-top styles you can find me on bonsainut.com from time to time.

    Yo would you be willing to chat to a new bc addict about taking care of these guys outside of their natural habitat? I've been on a deep dive into researching and I'm getting allot of conflicting info. Figure best thing is to go to a source of solid experience.
