It's hard to tell without a close-up of the branches, but I'm pretty sure that's an Arizona Cypress (Cupressus arizonica). However, you should be able to treat it pretty much the same as a juniper.

Nope.
personally Tony, I would not bother.Just being honest.Maybe cut it back hard and leave it for a few years. But good luck if you proceed with it.

I'd certainly give it a go. Your inlaw wants it gone and at least it'll have a chance at life if you take it for bonsai. Like anything of this kind, its gonna take time to develop into a bonsai and who knows what it will end up like.
Just my humble opinion, Ross. |
