    I don't want bare root trees. I am looking for a tree farm that sells them in 5 gal., 7 gal. or 10 gal. containers! I see them from time to time at lowe's or home depot. So I know that there is someone out there growing them for resell.

    thanks,lab

    It's to late for this year, but next year you can get them from the forestry service for about 1/2 of the commercial price.

    Lab,

    You can still collect the "seed balls" off the Cypress trees now, break them apart and plant the pieces about 1/2"-3/4" deep and they will grow up to 2feet depending on conditions either in a 10" pot or from the soil you plant them in.
    Easy to grow... just keep them wet.

    Thanks for the information but does anyone know where a nursery is growning them in a larger size(like 5-6 feet tall trees). I am not wanting a lot but I do want the bigger than 18 inches....
