Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Balance of plants in the environment Bald Cypress question

So, our nursery is having a 50% sale and I got a 9’ bald cypress for the price of a 6’. Really good deal. I have been wanting one for a long time but usually too expensive and I wanted a decent size. My question is my pond is 2’ low. Would you plant it as low as you can and let the pond come up over it or would you plant it higher more where the full line is? Or even higher above the full line? Want to plant if this evening. Thanks.
