Bald Cypress Tree Bark Is Peeling

Question From: R. Rose - TEXAS
Q: I have a large bald cypress that has it's bark peeling away from it's trunk on one side. The same side of the tree has dead branches all the way up the length of the tree. Is there anything I can do to save this tree?

A:

You need to get an onsite inspection of a certified arborist, a tree doctor in your area (you can find one here: http://www.isa-arbor.com/faca/findArborist.aspx). Best and Happy Gardening, Nancy
