crypress tree?
i have a baby cypress tree( i think its bald cypress or is it ball cypress?) well its a cypress tree. we water it all the time, for a long time not just a little bit. its starting to die. is it just because how hot it is (im from texas) or was it hard on it to go from a pot to the ground. is there any way i can try and bring it back, or is it just too late?

This tree does well in many types of soil therefore little maintenance is required.
The interior part of tree gets congested easily, so thinning a good portion is acceptable every two to three years.
Low branches seem to be a problem, but trimming to a secondary level is easy to accomplish.
· Problems-
Bald Cypresses can show an iron deficiency (yellowing of the leaves) in soils that are extremely alkaline (clay-black gumbo), but this is not always the case. Applying an abundance of Ironite or any granular product with iron and sulfur to the root system may help.
Also, there is a slight chance of bagworms becoming a problem, but is easily solved by using a licensed professional sprayer. I don’t know of any organic solutions, but there may be one. I do not, however, like spraying poison in the air.
Bald Cypress “knees” can be an obstacle for a lawn mower because this type of tree likes water more than the average tree. Even though Bald Cypresses may grow in standing water, they seem to take on a scorched appearance easily, around the latter part of summer.

quit all that watering,, you are drowning it!! let it dry out a bit and then water only when the dirt feels dusty and crumbly!!
