Going Bald At Their Own Pace

I have three groupings of Bald Cypress and they have their own timing
when they drop their needles.

I've indicated theses Bald Cypress trees in these pictures with white symbols.
This is my third grouping of The Bald Cypress that I had planted. In the middle
of this grouping is a Pond Bald Cypress and I started it from seed, gathered from
a tree along side a lake not far from here. They all though appear to start dropping
their needles working up from the bottom first.

Here is the second grouping of Bald Cypress trees and I can say for a fact

that the middle tree is the last to put on needles in spring by weeks compared

to the other two. So I can see why this tree of the three would be the last to

drop it's needles. The tree on the far left has been dwarfed considerably by

the other two. All three of these trees started off with dual trunks and was

the main reason why I selected them, but eventually one trunk dominated

and sucked the life out of the other and you wouldn't know it because

there are no remnants of that former self.

 Presenting the Originals. The granddad to the left of the tree will be last to drop

 it's needles.  I just collected some of these needles to burn in the house as a means

of incense. I also have some white oak flooring shavings from last night's project.
