Someone one on here has to know what this is. I've been researching but cannot figure it out.

Hard to tell, but perhaps a type of Picea (Spruce), like Picea omorika 'Nana' (Serbian Spruce), which has a broad pyramidal shape when mature and has a compact habit.

How tall is your tree? I can't tell, does it have any silvery look to it? Are the needles all green? Flash may have made the needles look a different color.

I can't see well the things growing on the branches of the close up pic. Do they look anything like these?:

It does look simular to this tree, though the lower branches have never reached the ground and it has never been trimmed or cut, It has kept its bullit like shape with no longer or shorter branches protruding outward, or atleast in the two years I have beent here..

Hi, The tree is about 12 feet tall, there is a photo of the pine needles closeup above, the needles are mostly green where the sun hits for most of the day, but very colorful on the otherside as seen in the small photo above, I did not use flash with this photo..

There are some small buds like shown, but they are not exactly the same..

Thanks for you help..
