Hi, Ann. Your second question was referred to me, as well. Some plant ID folks believe it to be this species and variety: https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/juniperus-procumbens-nana/
Here is more information on its care as a bonsai: https://woodyplants.nres.uiuc.edu/plant/junch80
Good luck!

Hello Ann. I'll assign your question to another horticulture expert in case you'd like a second opinion.

Hi Ann,

A faculty reviewed this answer and had nothing to add beyond what our Master Gardener sent you.
