- >1. Has anyone ever heard of a False Cypress
-
- Yes, I have several varieties of false cypress. They are one of my
- favorites because they are very hardy, and make wonderful bonsai. Along
- with serissas and chinese elms, they are one of the bonsai varieties
- that I give away as gifts to introduce bonsai.

- >2. Can this tree be used in Bonsai
-
- Yes.
-
- >3. If yes to the above, how is it usually styled?
-
- Any style. Usually formal upright, groves, etc.
