AusBonsai

[attachment=0]IMG_0425.JPG[/attachment][attachment=1]IMG_0424.JPG[/attachment] Good morning. I would appreciate assistance in identifying the plant in the attached images; one close up of the foliage, another of the bark.

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!

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.

Thank you both.
