Nice tree. It's an eastern or a southern red cedar as best as I can tell. Great movement. My big eastern red buds back very well so you can chase that foliage back to the trunk as needed.

You are in Atlanta? Go to the Monastery in Conyers, Bonsai Monk. They have the pumice and the lava in bags graded for size and ready to go.

I agree with John - the box will be fine for the tree. The treatment for PT wood has changed and it now is arsenic free. Make sure you have plenty of drainage in the box.
