Just starting a progression thread for this swampy. This is its first year of refinement, any tips are welcome. I am curious as to if i should defoliate this tree as winter is coming to a close here in Brissy soon an it still hasnt lost all its leaves, some of them are still green as you can see.

Re: [jehsiboi] SWAMP CYPRESS
I have a swampy that still holds onto its leaves and still has some green leaves, the difference it that where I live winter is certainly not nearly over (-5 deg this morning) so I wouldn't worry about and let nature take it course.

Re: [jehsiboi] SWAMP CYPRESS
Last year my swampy's leaves turned a rusty brown on much of the tree. This year they've all stayed a healthy green colour, and although it's still been growing all winter it was slower than summer.
Just let it go with the flow.
