You may have to think carefully about the styling options for this tree. I agree it could very well be Lawsonii. The problem with this bunch of Chamys is the tendency for the branches to grow upward. Most conifer styles look to have horizontal branching with foliege masses at the ends. This type of configuration may be hard to achieve with this tree. Be creative and think about the tree, look for styling options that may be outside of the mainstream.
