Yep, I can do that. On the question of sustainability, I actually researched this not so long ago because of a previous comment about this. It appears only Florida considers cypress non-sustainable. According to my research, and I checked several sources, there is now more cypress acreage in America than any time in our recorded history. I think one of those sources was Louisiana State University School of Forestry. I think your Botanical Garden is only trying to find a way to control your melaleuca trees, a tree that is not even found in Louisiana, Mississippi, or Alabama where stands of cypress are large and plentiful. Heck, I don't even know that your melaleuca tree is found anywhere else in America.
As you know, I love to experiment, so I might just make two equal batches of my orchid mix, one using the pine bark and the other shredded cypress.
