ID and opinions.

[Firecat]

Found this Junni at a nursery that I find a bit of neglected/unloved stock.
Thought I'd have a go at a multi trunk and see were it goes.
Tray is a 360mm x 50mm that I bored drainage and wiring holes.
I have had the tree a few months now and decided I'd give it a whirl today.
I should have taken a shot in the pot so a better look at what it actually was before.....First couple of pics are after I suffered a Steve moment and started before I'd recorded it's original form but it's pretty close.
Regards Steve.

There are so many and some cultivars are very different from others belonging to the same species that accurate Id is hard, esp from pictures.
Your tree seems to have foliage in flat pads so try looking up Thuja and Chamaecyparis as a starting point for your ID

Chamaecyparis is my thought also. If you have not had one before, ensure you do not let the foliage grow out too far leaving the inner branch with little on it. I am yet to get mine to shoot back on the old wood. However, it does thrive on having new growth cut back regularly. In my experience anyway.
Have fun..

Thanks guys.. the foliage is feathery and I'm going with M.J..pity back budding along branches seem a no go but will keep the pads in check.
A novelty really so will see how the branches set.
It is a bit taller than I'd like but as I had not attempted a style like this I'm loath to chop out the top for a more compact tree with an artificial apex.Flattening the crown will be my way around this I hope.
Thanks again
I'm hoping the (3) smaller trunks thicken quickly (bad word as nothing happens too quickly with most trees) as they are strong but still rather thin.
I'm also harvesting (3) air layers tomorrow that I set on another unusual juni at a friends house before they cut it down that are ready.They were just a practice so as I have not seen them for months I really didn't go for shape..We will see.
I'll take pics of the tree and hope this will aid an ID.

Regards Steve.
