If I were you I would have fun with a hinoki, which is a close cousin after all.

Hinoki is actually a true cypress, you may be thinking of Cryptomeria (Jap. Cedar, 杉) which is similar to a giant sequoia and also similar to a Hinoki. But with Cryptomeria the needles are closer to a Sequoia. It is incorrectly called Cedar in English a lot, it is it's own species entirely. I thought choko's pic was a Sugi when I first saw it actually.

I get that calling it Cedar was a mistake, but can't we just call it a Cypress (even though not that many people really know what a cypress is)??? I mean, it is a cypress..............
