You definitely have to watch them if they are growing in pots. I just replaced three that I lost due to being negligent regarding watering. (Two other DR's re-foliated after I watered more heavily. None of the Bald Cypresses in pots suffered.) Especially, those black plastic pots get HOT fast in the sun. The DR I have in the ground is gooding pretty good. Once established they can take some some heat and moderate drought, but compared to BC, DR seems to prefer a bit of shading from the hottest sun; whereas BC really needs full sun. Been droughty here in NJ but not as bad as further north where it is severe in a good chunk of Massachusetts (NJ has some massive DR's established!). Wonder how those trees are doing in more severe drought areas this summer.
