What's the name of this tree?

hey guys

i know this is a gymnosperm because of the prickly leaves

but what is the specific name?


thanks!

 

Only guessing because conifers like this one are unknown in Texas

I live in Maryland oO

 

I believe Cryptomeria japonica will grow in MD

 

Dude that looks exactly like mine.

How'd you find that...?!

 

It's on the page I linked to above.
Did you look at it?

 

Yea but I couldn't distinct them.

My eyes aren't trained to spot similar ones like that lol

 

Dude i did some research

Is this the Red Spruce...?

 

Seems unlikely to me.

 

Sigh I'm confused.

It looks really similar to a Red Spruce.

 

Actually, it doesn't - as far as it goes. Stick with cryptomeria.

 

It is definately Cryptomeria japonica

 

Of course...

After I submit it as: Red Spruce (Picea rubens)

:'(

 

Ditto to Sugi Cryptomeria japonica.
