I had the luck of coming across a pretty rare tree last year and jumped at the chance for under 80 bucks. I knew about the this Atlantic Cedar cultivar from being on the Facebook auctions and how fast they quickly got sold whenever Bill or anyone else placed one up for sell. When I put it on the counter to pay the owner looked at me like he may have missed marked the price but because i was a new customer he let me have it for the listed price but saying he wished he had made some cuttings before he sold the last one he had in stock. I Have only found one article about this species so I would love to see other examples of what I've been growing for almost a year now. I've learned that they definitely back bud unlike Hinoki Cyprus and are pretty tuff little trees as they Survived. my zone 6 winter no problems at all. I did a slip pot repotting this winter into a much larger pot from a rather small plastic nursery pot and have fed it heavily since this spring. I want the tree to be much bigger then it is now because I saw one Bill had that sold for over 5k or at least that was his asking price,,,but trust me i an't no Bill Valavanis lol...seen ive been feeding it it has exploded with new growth with all the extra room for the roots to run. It needs a restyling very soon and because of all the growth had to remove all the wire I put on this winter before it began to cut into the bark. All the branches have set from what I can tell so far because none of the branches have bounced back as of yet. At my local nursery I did notice a regular Atlantic cedar that had a massive base on it and was very tempted to take it home because of the back budding potential. So I'm including pictures of my tree and anyone else who has experience or has links to other posts about this interesting Species please feel free to comment and post pictures as well. I'm also interested in see regular Atlantic cedar bonsai as im sure i could learn a lot about what i have from what information that's out there on them as well.I don't believe in private posts on a forum page or time sensitivity especially when it comes to bonsai..
it takes to long to develop something to worry about that. All information it welcome because of
f the limited amount of information about these tree's.

I do love a Double trunks tho.. just looking on the nut show they tend to have Multiple trunks a lot of times. The taper on the trunk is petty good considering it's 33" high and thre movement running up the trunk is good for a almost Formal upright.. i though about Shortening the tree by creating a new leader but since the taper was decent i kinda want to use the whole tree..if anyone has some ideas I'm all ears and eyeballs or if you have a top point or something like that shos me what you got. My local nursery had three or them for 79 bucks each. Here's a few pictures one has the secondary trunk circled. One is the shows the taper and the movement of the trunk and some close ups of the type of foliage/general Appearance after removing a couple low branches and some Obscuring the front of the trunk. Btw I have wayyyyyy to many trees but yet I get another
