Unable to identify my bonsai was created by CP

Posted 7 years 10 months ago #36888
Hello all,
I have had this bonsai for around 7 years and I have never been able to find out what type it is. I have also never seen another one. Can anyone identify it?
Many thanks

Straight trunk, no tapering, no nebari, no good branch positioning, no ramificiation, unclear style (or actually the style is absent) and apparently a pretty young, untrained, unshaped plant that can hardly be called a bonsai, I'd say.

No need for spiteful comments, Thanks.

My apologies for that. Let me make it up by posting a picture of a Podocarpus bonsai.
