Identification: Could anyone identify the tree in the photo

This tree is growing in my back yard and nobody seems to know its name, I live in southern california.

 

Cedrus sp. These are very popular ornamentals, somebody at an outdoor plant nursery should know the tree. Determination of exact species requires a closer look. Take a twig specimen, ideally with cones, to a nursery - or post a good closeup photo.

 

i think it is cedrus diadora

 

I have the same tree in my front yard in East Vancouver, however it does not grow any cones. does not having cones make it not a Diadora?

 

Deodar Cedar is often shy at producing cones, and typically not before it is 40-50 years old. So no great surprise if yours doesn't have any.

PS the correct spelling for the scientific name is Cedrus deodara ;-)

 

I often see cones on much younger examples here.

 

Thanks everyone for your feedback! I had it confirmed as well by Conway from Mandeville Gardenworks, he knows a lot about them and just about every other tree out there.
