Anyone have any idea what kinda bonsai this is? I know it's coniferous but I don't have much to go on besides that.
I picked it up off a Vietnamese lady on the side of the highway for $35, I want to make sure that I treat it properly and that I can prune it to look like the actual large tree, any tips or comments are appreciated

I don't doubt you
How do you know it isn't a sequoia?
They look the same to me.
Also: Bonsai is the S&M of hordacultur. It's literally people that get off on torturing trees over hundreds of years.

Sequoias are MUCH bigger anon, they typically can't be grown indoors.

The babies look the same to me, which is why I asked.
>How do you know it isn't a sequoia
Thanks for clarifying they look nothing alike but you're not going to tell me how. I have neither growing near me.

It’s juniper procumbens nana
It’s an outdoor tree, it will get crusty and dry indoors, take it out side and water it every day during groaning season

Also side note: you can prune them pretty heavy and they’ll be okay, but a lot of people stake them to increase their height as they tend to spread out not up

Yes, he's correct. Junipers are a generic bonsai species as they stay small and obviously the tiny leaves create a sense of minature scale.

It goes outdoors OP, you probably know that but some people really are that dumb. Pick the growth tip off the top -- these do really well with simply plucking the new growth which makes the new growth more dense.

Perhaps, but much like a stud horse lives a life of servitude, technically, in other ways it is clearly blessed. These trees are the same -- they never want for anything.

Why do you mouth breathing retards make the most idiotic of analogies and pretend it's related at all to what you're responding to.

I'm talking about root-binding a tree and constantly trimming its roots, leaves and branches to artificially keep it dwarfed.

This has nothing to do with fucking horses you moron.
