Well, it will probably SURVIVE, anyway. It is an outrageous mess,
and will regrow into a shapeless blob, but I don't know how you CAN
prune a conifer back that hard at all cleanly. Have you any ideas?

The centre of the picture shows what look very much like cypress
cones, and the leaf growth pattern fits, so my guess is that it may
be a cypress of sorts. But I am no conifer expert.
