This little guy is a Tsukomo Sawara Cypress, or Chamaecyparis pisifera ‘Tsukomo’. Hard to imagine a more “instant bonsai” cultivar. I don’t have a before picture of this one, but it was extremely dense when I got it, but what you see is mostly the outcome of a single season of wiring and cleaning out to show the trunk and branches.

I definitely used copper wire on this one even though I prefer aluminum, but there was so little space to work in and I really needed the combination of holding power and thin gauge that copper offers.
