Hi everyone,
I have this big beautiful tree in my front yard. I was wondering what type it is. I think it might be interesting to try and grow a few trees for bonsai use. So just chasing what type it is. Any help identifying it is appreciated.
Some type of conifer

Re: Some type of conifer
I'll have a guess at chamaecypris.

Re: Some type of conifer
I thought chamaecyparis has flat foliage pads.
My guess would be one of the Cupressus - cypress family but I have never bothered to work out how to tell the differences between genera let alone species.

Re: Some type of conifer
I'm going to retract my guess and go with Cupressus too.

Re: Some type of conifer
Yep it some kind of Cupressus, but without sitting down with a genus key and looking at the shape of the fruit (seed) and some very specific features of the foliage, it will be hard to say exactly which one it is
