MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS : 
Baker cypress trees could be planted in the hot interior sections of
California as specimen trees, but are not feasible for windbreaks or
erosion control because of slow growth [31].  

Seedlings of Baker cypress are susceptible to damping-off fungi [29].
Baker cypress (C. b. ssp. bakeri) is occasionally attacked by juniper
mistletoe (Phoradendron juniperinum ssp. juniperinum) in Plumas County,
and Siskiyou cypress (C. b. ssp. matthewsii) has been infected by
coryneum canker (Coryneum cardinale), which can kill trees [9].
