Seedling
First off I took a trip to Lowes today to browse the trees and see if anything stuck out to me. I came across small Ellwood Cypress, it looks like a neat little plant but it's not something I've found to much info on has anyone else used these for bonsai with successful results?
Secondly I have a large Hinoki Cypress (about 4'6") and a Japanese maple (about 4'). I pulled both of these trees off a brush pile a few years ago because I thought they were interesting but only ever pruned them to keep them from becoming a bushy mess never to be a bonsai. So I was wondering if you could start a tree from a cutting with these two species? If so should I use the root growing hormone I have or let them grow themselves?
I will attach pictures of the Hinoki Cypress and Japanese Maple. I'm sorry they are not the best quality I only have my webcam available to take pictures.
