AusBonsai

Hi there! I was hoping someone could help me with this.
I was given this with a japanese maple, but this was unidentified.
It's probably obvious... but I just want to clarify.

Also, any suggestions would be great ..
This is my first bonsai (other than my Japanese Maple - will have to post photos also)
I have been researching, reading books, going through forums as much as ppossible.
Am still a little nervous to start so jsut wanted some pointers.
Should I prune these roots?
Does it need wiring / shaping?
All comments are appreciated!

Definitely some type of juniper

That's what I was told by someone at the Box Hill show.

Thanks for that!

Gday addosh
the tree in the pot is a Sargent juniper squagmatta or it could be a (Juniperus chinensis)

Cheers mate

I will look up what to do with it regarding pruning, wiring techniques etc
Should probably get some inspiration from nature too

Hi Addosh
The WBG will be running beginner bonsai classes starting on 20th Oct and running for 5 weeks, starting at 7 pm in a room at the back of the church. Dates: 20th Oct, 27th Oct, 3rd, 10th and 17th November. There are a couple of spots still available so if you would like to attend please email me and I will send you some details.

The tree is more likely a Cuppressus than a juniper. Common name of most of these is book leaf fir or book leaf juniper.

Hinoki cypress is also a possiblity, not a juniper though.

Cheers Pup

Cheers for that!
Unfortunately I work in Richmond until 7.30pm weekdays so I don't think I'd make it there on time d'oh!
