When I was a kid, it was common to see lamps made from cypress knees. Haven’t seen one in a long time.
Only $2750.00 for a pair!!!
They are like hitting a steel post with a bush hog and will puncture a tire.
We have cypress in a small wetland that my Dad planted as just sprigs, sticks really, nearly 50 years ago. They are about 70 feet tall in some cases. He planted pin oak, sycamore, sweetgum, maple, walnut and overcup oak the same way. They are all big trees now. The sycamore stand in the pasture like white sentinels in the winter moonlight.
I had to buy the homeplace to protect Dad’s legacy of trees. Not sure what happens when I am gone. Wish he had planted a forest on the 40 acres.
