Re: Plant identification
Hi Gene,
I'll have a dip at a Grey Owl juniper, Juniperus Virginiana I think or something like that...?
It's just a hunch though - not definitive by any means.
Welcome to Ausbonsai!

Re: Plant identification
Yes Ryceman is correct. Grey Owl. Interestingly, Grey owl is a hybrid with 50% virginiana, 25% chinensis and 25% sabina.  It's a cosmopolitan juniper!
Not very good for bonsai but makes excellent stock for grafting shimpaku.
