Not sure exactly, but the trunk and the spiky needles would seem to indicate a Juniper. Regardless, this tree should not be kept indoors. However, without knowing where you live - specifically, how cold it is in your area - we can't advise you where you should keep the tree. Hopefully someone with a more expert eye will drop in. Josh

It looks like Bambusa vulgaris 'Vittata' PAINTED BAMBOO. There are a few other possibilities, but the new shoots in your pictures look a bit different. If you dig one yourself, dig one that is older, or one that has limbs and has leaved-out already. The younger culms won't fare as well. Dig as much of a rootball as you can, and you can cut the tip of the culm off for ease during transporting. Keep the roots moist from the time of digging to transplanting. From a single culm division, you should have a very nice plant in a couple to three years, especially in your warm climate. Good Luck Kt

Keep it if you want, but make sure you give it a good place and it is legal in your area to keep them. Still no pictures, lol.

I've had my polished empress green marble(serpentine) counters for two years now and have to say I'm totally pleased with them.(As in, I will never ever have anything but empress green marble counters in any future kitchen ever again. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this stuff)I love to cook...I'm a messy, exuberant experimenter who doesn't often(err, NEVER) cleans up immediately. I cut gnocchi, cookies and what not directly on the stone and my fully clawed cats have gladiator wars every chance they can on the counters. And it's still as pretty as the day it was installed. Does it scratch? Never with anything I've ever done(or the kitties), but the installers did scratch it a bit....they showed hubby how to polish it out easily. They then read us the spiel about how marble was a bad, bad choice. They refused to admit that sepertine was a different stone. My DH was patted on the back with sympathy for having such a difficult wife. I spent a year waiting for something bad to happen to my stone....then spent another year simply not caring. The counter is miles above and beyond my old corian as far as upkeep and care....and I happened to love my corian. Scratches? Piffle. Empress green and Vermont verde are tough. The Vermont Verde is considered tougher than granite. Knowing my Empress green, I believe it.
