Cypress tree Knees

Attached are photos of my large cypress tree. The tree was a seedling - planted in 1986. I inherited the tree in 2001- see photo of tree with no leaves. The next photos are of the tree in Sept 2010 with naturally occuring knees.

Since 2004 the tree has been kept in water from March to Sept-Oct each year. As you can see my tree has grown some real nice knees.

For more photos of the cypress and other trees go to www.bnjl.com which is my web site.
