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.
