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

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.

Re: New Boulevard Cypress, UPDATE 12/3/2013
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.

Re: New Boulevard Cypress, UPDATE 12/3/2013
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 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.

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.
