Styling Suggestions Needed

Post by BGM1971 »

Hi
I purchased this at last years Waverly Bonsai show.
Cyprus.JPG
It was tagged as a Cyprus, but I don't really know what it is! :cry: If you someone knows, I'd really appreciate it.
Well I think it's time to do a bit of work on it. I was thinking of lowering the apex, and thinning it out a fair bit.
Here is my thoughts.

looks like either chamaecyparis spp. or thuja spp. either way they can be a little dificulty to back bud, so be cautiuous with that.

Hi Brad
It is Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Coralliformis' ,I have one for the last four years and it does not grow at all .
I use same mix as for chinese juniper and it looks healthy and green but the size has not increased since.

Cheers
Andrew
