I started my Bald Cypress Germination project in November 2002
when I collected about a quart of seeds at public parks in
Fort Worth and Arlington.
Right now (3/22/03), I'm worried that all my seeds are dead. I've cut into the some of the seeds looking for signs of live. Below are a some examples of the ones that showed some signs of life (past or present). I've planted the ones titled 'live' seeds. I hope they survived my cutting activity.
