Hey everyone, we were gifted this bonsai tree, could anyone identify it? I’ve googled pine bonsai trees but still unsure which one it could be. Thanks!

Looks like a Tam Juniper.

This plant is definitely a juniper. I don’t know where you have it but junipers are strictly an outdoor plant.  
Definitely do your research on this plant to find out how to care for it

Thank you everyone

One thing that most people tell you about pruning the Jennifer is that you can cut them limbs off, but do not cut the foliage with scissors. You must do that by pinching to shape. Otherwise, if you use scissors, it will just turn the end of the foliage brown.

Looks like Murray cypress
