14th July 2016 Put a wire guard around the northern swamp cypress.
16th June 2016 The northern swamp cypress. that has been damaged, probably by deer. You can see that although the top looks a little more full and bushy, it has lost width overall due to deer having the munchies.
The southern one seems fine although not much grown, hardly surprising given it's location.
25th May 2016 They were difficult to find, given the high ground cover, especially the one to the south: which was struggling for light; as you see in the right-hand picture below. Still, each has rooted and taken to its new home.
