Hi guys do you think this tree is worth digging

I'm not sure if the foliage is ever going to look good .

Here is another picture

What is it do you know?
Cannot make it out from the pics, but my guess would be cypress of some sort?

I personally wouldn't dig it.

It's hard to see much from the photos. What makes you want to dig this tree. What features does it have that will make it a good/great bonsai. If you only want to dig because you can, then it's probably not worth it. But if you see something in it that you think will contribute to a great bonsai then may be worth a go. Personally I don't think it's worth digging a tree just because you can but more because it has potential as a bonsai.

I think it may have potentional as a bonsai for the fact that the trunk is huge . It could be reduced down to it lowest branch. And with some heavy bending and carving it could possibly be something . The tree is to be removed.
I'm put of collecting by the foliage and the fact it will take up a lot of room.

Can you turn it into a worthwhile Bonsai? if so dig, if not do not waste your time.
