kAREN..I made the mistake of planting a baldy cypress tree...in my very small jungle...it has taken over...spreading its KNEES everyplace...the roots are called KNEES...and you have them in your yard as part of the landscape look...while my tree is beautiful..it belongs in the water and not in my yard...it literally has taken up 1/8 of my yard and is still working on it....please note this pic where i point them out....people sell the knees ..sometimes..they are buffed and polished and sold as souvenirs....if you want a truck load more...just come to my jungle..


here's the pic
