Bald Cypress

[fubar2]

I was walking through some exotic trees to this area last evening and found a seed pod / cone / whatever under a bald cypress. I don't know how long it was on the ground but it is still green so probably not long. Just wondering if there is anything I can do to encourage growth from it? What steps would I take to possibly get a tree from it? Thanks for any advice. Beautiful tree I'd love to have one.

Unless you have plenty of room for it to grow, you don't want it. They are nice, but I have an issue right now I am working on where a neighbor's bald cypress roots and knees are literally attacking my client's yard as they try to invade his septic field lines... 100+ feet away. Nightmare!
