Common name is Hinoki Cypress, also called Hinoki False Cypress.
With judicious pruning and wiring, you can control the upright growth quite well.
I have not worked with this genus in particular, but there are many here who have.
I'm sure they'll pop in to offer pointers. Many will suggest that you join a local
bonsai society.

Thank you. I have found a Bonsai club here in Edmonton and hope to join it when the weather stays better. Never know when a snowstorm will hit and as I live out of the city I will join in the spring. Hate to join and then promptly miss meetings.
