Anyone ever tried to plant bald cypress trees? I have a few islands, well really they are more like shallow mounds of dirt. They aren't big at all, but there are alot of scrub trees that have been growing on them. I'd love to see them replaced with cypress trees since they used to be here. I know they are slow growing and it would basically be something my kids would enjoy, but I'm ok with that. Can I stick a tree or two among the others or do they need alot of direct sunlight? Tree tubes or not? If I plant ten or so will they start to spread on their own?
My main reason for the cypress trees is that they are native. But I'm open to suggestions on other trees that I could plant at the same time. Something that would be beneficial to ducks and other wildlife.
