Could you show a pic. Of the fruit from a bald cypress tree. Would it be in clusters of 4 or 5 ? Can they be planted to reproduce ? If so how would you suggest ? Thank you

I will provide a link with images outside of this system to your email address. Bald Cypress seeds require a cold treatment if you sow them other than the fall where they naturally will receive this by our winter weather. 90 days between 32 and 40 degrees should work. This is for the seeds themselves after the cones open up and expose/expel them. The seeds should germinate quickly in temperatures of 70 - 75 degrees.
