Name That Plant!

Please help identify this evergreen

11 years ago

Hello, I am having some trouble identifying this evergreen. Some say white pine, serbian spruce, norway spruce, and a bald cypress!!! I would like to get a few more, we have lots of property and we lost more than 10 evergreens due to a specific disease unique to that tree (cant remember which evergreen). They were at the very front of our property where the cars come and headlights now shine in. I woule like to get more of this kind but i dont know which it is. thanks so much for any help!

Definitely not white pine or bald cypress. Norway spruce would be my guess. Close up photos of the needles and bark might be helpful.

Sometimes the cones are the best way to determine species. This MSU identification key might help.

Thank you, bboy. That's what it seems to be. After perusing several other websites besides this one, I'm still confused as to where to plant this little guy. Some sites say it'll grow short (3-6') and columnar, others say it can grow 10-15' with a width of up to 6'. I'm in southern Texas; don't know if that makes a difference.

they are conifers.. not shrubs... there is a conifer forum .. though i dont really care where you post .... a post over there.. might get you some ideas of named cultivars that will fit a given location ... one thing for sure.. those in the pix are planted way to close to the foundation .... if you care to do the same.. place them another few feet from the brick work isnt there an arboretum in denver ... where you might see some named and labeled varieties.. in person ..... there are some CO peeps over in the conifer forum .... who might answer that querry ... ken

Just compared the picture to a Manhattan euonymus (E. kiautshovicus patens) in the front yard. Seemed extremely similar in leaf and fruit. Admittedly, some species are hard to tell apart. hortster

norway spruce!!! Thank you so much!!! This tree seems to just simply make it everyday, always looks inviting. I think another one of these would be great for some more privacy. I so appreciate you help!!!

You might take this opportunity to have all of your trees identified. Knowing as much as you can about these very valuable parts of your property will help you protect them....as in the case of all the other evergreens you lost. Were they hemlocks, by any chance?

There are some terrific plant experts in this forum who will be happy to help.
