What would a banyan chamaecyparis look like?
You could always go for a exposed root (neagari) style tree.
Branches that naturally come into contact with the ground will grow roots, but I doubt you could grow aerial roots as with a ficus or a schefflera.
But, you could give it a go. Chamaecyparis don't grow aerial roots naturally, you would probably have to protect them from light, and keep them damp.
The tree i airlayered was
C. lawsonii, not
C. obtusa (hinoki), and it was the first time I did it. If you want to try this sort of thing, do it on a spare tree; something that isnt valuable
