Shohin Juniper - Not!

This pic was taken on my last winter trip to Ballarat Mel. Not sure what species it is but the leaves resemble the chinese jup.

Likely cypress. Do chinese junis grow this big? Great taper!!! Scrape back the soil, at a guess i would say realistically 1:2 - 1:3. If we go by what is coming out of the soil, 1:4 - 1:5. Very impressive tree here. Too bad the artist was slack and didn't pinch back to keep foliage compact.

Thanks for sharing kev.

Hi Kvan,
That's Sequoiadendron giganteum the Giant Redwood.

Yea, otherwise it would be a very convincing formal up right. I would do some branch sellection and trim all lower branches up to 1/3 before next spring hehe. Oh oh, scrap back the soil and expose more base too

Do you have a close up of the folliage? It's a bit hard to see.
