    The tree, is probably about 50', as with the previous tree, it is located near where I live in (Devon, UK) and the photos were taken this afternoon (Jan 31st). I was thinking maybe a Japanese Cedar, after discounting a swamp cypress.

    Agreed, Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Squarrosa' (a Sawara Cypress cultivar).

    If it isn't in your books, get a new one! Any of Alan Mitchell's field guides is recommended.

    It is listed in one of the books I have here, but only as a little aside, and the foliage looks so different from a generic that I didnt even look at it. Hillier lists innumerable cultivars I presume Squarrosa is a very common one.

    Is this is what you had in mind for Alan Mitchell's field guides? If so i will grab my self a copy.

    Yes, that's a good one; also look out for his pocket guide (illustrated by John Wilkinson)
