Chinese Juniper. Juniperus Sergentii "Sargentii". or Chinese Ligustrum
This one site you posted ( ) has the Juniper as Juniperus Sergentii I don't know if they misspelled it or what. I would suggest a Juniperus Chinensis 'Shimpaku' over that if you can find one at a good price. Other that what is listed on those sites I would suggest a Trident Maple.
The Junipers are easier to style and like a well drained soil. They are a hardy plant.
The Chinese Ligustrum is a hardy plant as well but they like humidity.

Well, what sort of tree and style are you looking to get? Can you stick it outdoors, or does it need to be an indoor plant? How experienced are you at gardening - that is, how difficult and sensitive of a plant can you keep alive?

Very new. Only have a ficus tree at the moment. It's still alive after over 2 weeks and has grown a few centimetres so I hope I'm doing things right but I know it's still early.
I like the formal upright and windswept styles. Is there species I should avoid for these styles?
I have a garden so outdoor is a possibility is it harder to keep a tree alive indoors or outdoors(I know that a very general question and would depend on weather/species)
Thanks for the replies.

Only tropical trees inside. They can get out in the summer. Few orher can be grown inside for the winter as well. If you live in the 4 season climate all local spices should be outdoor. A very popular quote "trees belong outdoors".
