I want to try a Phoenix Graft and am having trouble locating Shimpaku
Junipers in my area. I have no bonsai nurseries within an hours
drive. At a landscape place i saw some Leyland Cypress that looked
like they had the necessary characteristics (long slender trunks) Has
anyone tried with this specie, or can you refer me to an expert ?

Check out Brent Watson's site: www.evergreengardenworks.com for some
nice Shimpaku rooted cuttings that are about 12 inches long in 2 1/4 sq. pots.
I just took delivery on a dozen in Jan.

I second Billy's post if you can take advantage of Brent's stock.
Infinitely preferable to Leylandii. It's a fast-growing, pest tree in my
experience.

Well, I think Kev meant to say .... it's a pest *free* tree .....
anyway, I'd like to third the endorsement for Brent. I just bought some
trees from him last month and was very pleased. Very nice stock and
great service.

No I meant exactly what I said :-) Leylandii is a PEST tree. It is
commonly planted here as a hedging plant and rapidly grows to full tree
proportions causing disputes with neighbours.
