I'm trying to find out the name of this rare tree. I've only came accross this one a couple of times online, but never with the name of it. Can anyone help?

| It's pruned to look like that. Probably something common like Chamaecyparis obtusa or C. pisifera. When I click to enlarge I get a Photobucket page without the picture. |

| Looks like Chamaecyparis obtusa to me. And as bboy says, it's been pruned to attain that amazing shape. |
|
| +1 Hinoki Cypress (chamaecyparis obtusa) |

| Check out the Lars Anderson Bonsai Collection describing Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Chabo-hiba' in octopus style at the Arnold Arboretum. |
