    I can't say for sure but this may be your tree or a close relative. It's Cupressus himalaica var. darjeelingensis and while the colour is slightly different (it's blue-green while your image shows more of a deep green) the look is similar. You can find other images of this tree at my website http://www.cfgphoto.com.

    Hi
    thankyou for your reply but l looked the name up and its not the same. This tree has dredlock type branches that hang quite long. This tree is about 30 feet high. Amd the round dredlock type branches are about 2 feet in diameter.

    I can throw a guess out and go with - Sequoiadendron giganteum 'Pendulum'.

    Thankyou everyone!..........i looked up photos and it looks to me like a haiku sequoia. If you double click on my photo it should give a larger photo.
    Thanks again for your help! It is such a fabulous looking tree!
