Well...

After falling in love with a bald cypress I got at a home improvment store I took it back after making some discoveries about its growth.

I love the fern like qualities of the bald cypress but not the size of it.

I might not be around when it reaches 60-70 foot but i dont want to be the blame of planting such a huge tree just to have it removed in 20 or 30 years because of mis-planting it in my small yard.

However,having said all this Im still consumed by the elegant Bald Cypress look.Mainly the fernish look of it.

Im in zone 6...is there anything similar to this wonderful tree or can i get it but prune...or some other trick to keep it in a small place?

Thanks for any input.
