Hello,

I'm got this "Boulevard Cypress" at a gardenner shop@Chiangmai-Thailand last month ago... , it cost is only ten dollar!, crazy? hehehe. you are didn't often find a conifer like this if you are live in Thailand .



it's rootage... Umm not bad for me, like I said... conifer are hard to find in Thailand (in size)



after few hour of wireing (not crave it's deadwood yet) this is the result
now, it's hight is 35 CM from the pot lip to this tree taper.



UPDATE 9/6/12

few day ago, I have working for remove wires and make shari-jin. this tree grow well as I cant image before

















All next update will post on the last page

Thank you for looking, all openions are welcome

Hi Pongsatorn, This is a nice starter tree, but I do not believe it is a Juniper. It was likely mislabled as a Blue Star Juniper. It is, I believe, a Chamaecyparis pisifera Boulevard, commonly called Boulevard Cypress. Blue Star Juniper is very stiff stemmed and prickly to the touch. Rick

Thank you

I read a references from the Thailand gardenner book ... maybe that book is confuse... can you show me of the Chamaecyparis pisifera Boulevard foliage?

thank you again, I saw the light

This is a Boulevard Cypress
this is a Blue Star Juniper

Note the feathery foliage on the Cypress compared to the stiff fingers of the Juniper

Oh... you are right! it is true can me rename this topic

Thank you.

What's your weather like? They are miserable here in hot humid south Alabama. One of my favorites, I hope it does well for you in Chiang mai.

You are welcome Pongsatorn, and you can consider yourself lucky, as the Blue Star, and I hate to say this because someone will post a pic of a nice one, is one of the lesser desirable trees for bonsai. At least I can say I've had enough difficulties with them that I have them in my, 'not to be bothered with', catagory for now.

I would be surprised if it thrives under Bonsai culture. I have tried them here on the Florida Space Coast and they don't make it. Too hot and humid in the summer and without a winter dormant period. But I wish you luck and keep us posted.

Thank you Billy,

you are my teacher for "care conifer on hot climate" so thank alot...

so... any juniper and cypress that not suitable for Thailand climate... but love is love. with billy advise, now we can grow black pine in Chiangmai and Bangkok

we have success with the many variations of Chinese Juniper. BTW, Boulevard Cypress is not a true cypress. The Bald Cypress that thrives here in Florida might do well for you, you just have to keep them wet.

where to find the Bald Cypress sir?

Hi all, one of my favorite pastimes is deciphering names and I found this little tidbit concerning this tree: The Greek 'chamae' means, 'on the ground'.... 'Cyparis' derives from Cyparissus,, the youth who, overcome with grief at having killed Apollo's favorite stag, was consoled by being transformed by the gods into a cypress. So the name means Cyparissus on the ground. I had thought that the name meant simply false cypress, the 'chamae' being derived from camouflage and cyparis for cypress. Why Cyparissus on the ground? Could it be because this tree, unlike most conifers, retains its branches all the way to the ground? Curious in Oregon-Rick

I'm thanks you alot

OK sir... now we know it is not Juniper... , OK about my styleing

what are you think?

I missed the second photo of the styled tree, I think you have a good start, wait and see what the tree says.

As to Bald Cypress, check on line for either seedlings or even seeds. Although seeds take more time, Bald Cypress can grow quickly if well carred for.

Thank you Billy, so... in hot place like Thailand... less foliages than that mean less posible life on conifer... so I'm will plan to cut it soon if it is can alive

Hello Cees and Pongsatorn.k
Thanks Cees.
In the bonsai page on 12 july 2011 this possibility has been discussed,
so in a way it is maybe helpful here because there the subjekt was a sawara as well.

here is the one i take care of for my customer. these picture are from march 2010

this year 2012, it is repotted again into a new pot. owner decided to jin one of the front branches. i have to turn the front about 15 degree. he bought a new chinese pot. we thought it might be too big. but after we tested it. it looks very good. we think.
