Want this question answered?
Why do you want to kill a cypress knee? You can take a long saw and swim down to the base and saw it away from the root. You might however cause problems. A cypress tree produces cypress knees to provide its underwater roots with air. You could grow a cypress tree on land and it would not produce knees. It only needs a way to get oxygen to its roots underwater. If you remove all its knees, you will kill the tree. If you want to kill the tree, that will be a good way to do it.
If you own the land AND the rights to the timber on that land (true in most cases), then you can harvest cypress knees UNLESS the knees in question are located in an area where there is an additional restriction on cutting vegetation. These restrictions may include watershed protection rules, a local tree ordinance, or a conservation easement.
It is illegal to cut cypress tress in Louisiana. The penalty for cutting down cypress tress is up to $5,000.00 and up to 6 months in jail.
No. Long distance running does not damage your knees, if you exercise some reasonable restraint. Of course, any physical activity, if overdone, can damage the body part(s) it employs and running does employ the knees. However, damage to the knees can be avoided by stopping when you begin to feel pain.
no, jogging ain't bad for the knees but they might damage your cartilage between the kneecap and can cause arthritis , but with the damage of bone, comes growth and with growth comes sexier and longer legs.
The bald cypress is native to the swampy areas of Louisiana, an unique evergreen that loses its needles in the fall. Beginning in colonial times, it was an important commodity in Louisiana. It was easy to work with and was used to build many things like furniture. It stood up well against water damage which was useful in Louisiana's climate. It was also used as a trade item building wealth for Louisiana residents.
No more than any other species of tree generally speaking. Cypress trees are often found in wet environments because they are very tolerant of them moreso than because they have a higher requirement for water. Cypress trees can make good lawn trees and in the absence of aquatic environments, usually don't grow the cypress "knees" that they are famous for. These knees are specialized roots that grow up above the water line to allow the tree to get sufficient air. As a side note, the most common reason trees die on construction sites is that too much dirt is placed around them and compacted and subsequently the tree roots aren't able to get the air they need to function.
It can damage their back and knees
If the damage to the knees is not too bad*, then stretching and/or yoga can make it happen. It takes time however. (*my opinion- if it's chronic pain, then the damage is too bad.)
When she appeared in the doorway, he could see that she had ashy, knobby knees. One hazard in the swamp is the large number of knobby cypress stumps that lie just under the surface of the water.
Hopping on one knee can do some serious damage to your knees that what happened to me :/
Yes, unless you have your suspension set up right it can massively damage your knees
