    Bald Cypress Tree Knees

    thanks for the suggestions Yes, I will be the first to admit that I made a mistake planting it only 15 feet from the fence line. I am glad to hear that there is a barrier I can check into, as well as aerating and pruning. Will research those three ideas, sounds like there's a good chance one...

The yard is small and the tree is about 15 feet away from the back of my house in the middle of my yard. I didn't do my research at...
