Needles (duh)

A spruce, Picea species, and from the coloring, I'd guess Picea pungens. Cedrus hold their needles in clusters rather than individually.

Definitely spruce,

possibly a weeping form cultivar?

if the needles are really pokey, it's probably a Picea pungens (Colorado spruce). If the needles are soft, it's probably a Picea engelmannii (Engelmann's spruce).

I couldn't find any pictures of a weeping Picea pungens This is a photo from Oregon State University of a Deodar cedar needles.

That is a really good illustration of how Cedrus needles are held in clusters. If you look at the close up photo of your tree, you can see how the needles are held singly and attached to a short woody 'peg' (sterigma) that is characteristic of all spruces.

Look for picea pungens ‘The Blues’ Jon. Not saying that’s what you have, just that it’s a common one.

Picea Pungens, the Blues.

David, thank you. It looks identical.

Heres what I get when I search for The Blues. Strange how different they look.

That is very different and pretty close. David's suggestion seems to be a dead ringer.

I agree with David too. The thin needles and structure looks just like 'Bush's Lace'.

Here's a nice mature one at the Oregon Garden.

And here's mine from last year. I may be kind of obsessed with this tree. =)

Garen, that’s a beautiful shot! Very inspiring.

Garen, thanks for the pictures. Something to hope for.

Jon , a pic of the whole would have been the deciding factor also ,,,a distinct form

Garen , I think it's time for a pic update before a camera won't fit in your yard

ha , ron

Yeah, I promise I’ll do a photo dump soon. Especially since I didn‘t post an update last year.
