I purchased this conifer at Home Depot, hoping that I could air-layer a few pre-bonsai trees out of it, or at least chop it for a single bonsai tree. It was cheap, so I figured why not?

Home Depot had it labeled as an Italian cypress. However, it seems way to sparse to be an Italian cypress...even for young specimens. The young Italian cypress that I've seen have shorter, more dense foliage that points up. This has long, sparse, floppy foliage.

I've searched through many conifer pictures and I cannot ID this. I cant image it is too uncommon, coming from Home Depot. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Also, do you think I will have any luck air-layering this?

Thank in advance for the help!
