Gee Wiz was found as a witch's broom by Gary Gee at Hidden Lake Gardens. A slow, fairly globose variety with nice feathery foliage.

T. ‘GEE WIZZ’ - is a dense, slow growing bald cypress (5’-6’). This dwarf plant has an arching form that is broader than tall. Found by Gary Gee in Mississippi.

By: Gossler Farms

Gary found this down at Hidden Lake, which is amazing considering the number of conifer junkies that have passed it by without noticing it; not quite clear on the wiz part but maybe that explains it.
