Here is a link that might be useful: Tree to ID

Juniperus Virginiana...... Eastern red cedar

see link ... also refer to dirr's propagation of woody plants ... for further info ....

timing is imperative ... certain times of the year ..

as well as selection of the right woody pieces ...

but frankly.. its an invasive weed ... i am surprised you cant find some growing in the area ... i could probably dig you a dozen tomorrow ...

if it has cones... you could probably grow those just as easy ....

do keep in mind.. small pieces root easier and faster than large whompin pieces... this isnt a time to go all instant gratification on size ...

i dont know what A cation is ....

look for the HTML code in flickr ... and paste it where you type.. on preview.. if you see it.. we will ...

man i like that train .... looks like a real old workhorse ....

if you do the right pieces .. with some rooting hormone.. say 10 pieces.. i gotta tthink you would get 3 or 4 ... with little or no luck ... experimenting is fun ....

all that said.. cant we convince you to do something better ...???? .. cant you get your hands on an interesting thuja/arb .. or a cham????

Thanks guys

First A cation was vacation. We are on vacation and I would like to have a cutting to turn into a bonsai tree for a memory of the trip.

From what I've read I should be able to ge a cutting to grow. The tree/ bush is large enough I should get enough cuttings that 1 or 2 will grow.

Ken the train is my wintertime hobby. I paint model trains to be realistic looking and less toy like. Thanks for the comments.

I will try to remember to post updates on the cutting when I get then started

I am new in conifer planting, can somebody recognise this Chamaecyparis? I think it could be Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Ellwoodii', but I'm not sure.

Thanks!

'Ellwoodii' is a dense columnar form with numerous vertical sprays of small prickly looking needles, this is something else.

Thank you, bboy. Any ideas what cultivar this could be? I hope at least IT IS Chamaecyparis. :-)

If it's of any help, label on the plant said that country of origin is Nederland, Europe.

welcome to GW thomm ... next time.. start your own post ... dhd might not like getting emails about your plant ...

out of curiosity ... can you show us a pic of the label ... contacting the supplier might be an option ...

really cool paint job on the train .... wonder if there is a train forum .. lol ...

I'm ok with the thread changing as I'm interested in the tree as well but Ken is correct. In the future it is best to have your own threads so cross posting of the now 2 subjects don't get confusing.

Foliage looks more like some sort of taxus (Yew). Could be some sort of juvenile leaf form of a Chamaecyparis, but not foliage that would jump out to me as false cypress. Either way I could not make a positive ID. Compare with above suggestions.

Sorry dhd if there is confusion - some forums have one common thread for ID, I was thinking this tree will be easily recognised. My bad. :-)

Anyway, one professional conifer guy from nursery said to me via mail that this conifer is probably Chamaecyparis thyoides 'Top Point'... I googled a lot of pictures on web, it really does look like that.
