Probably completely wrong, but could it be some sort of Cryptomeria?

Judging by the 2nd.pic with what looks to be white-splashed young
shoots, it is probably Thujopsis dolobrata 'variegata'. Some nursery
catalogues hopefully suggest that it grows to a couple of metres high,
omitting to mention that it then goes on for several to many more
metres as time passes.

Thanks Dave, that does ring a bell, it's around 10 years ago when I
took the cuttings.

Good start for a new member, dis-agreeing,
I think it is thuja O. 'zebrina' It doesn't look 'heavy' enough for
thujopsis.
