Question - We recently purchased a bald cypress without care
instructions. Do they like full-sun, part-sun, or
shade? I have read they do good in soil and better
in swamps. How often do you recommend that we water
the tree? Any other information on care for our bald
cypress would be helpful. We live in Michigan (USA).

Also, your local agricultural extension service should be helpful.
