Those who know more about it than I do are wise enough to avoid
diagnosis just on the basis of one pictu can you provide close-ups
of the sprays of foliage? What do the leaves smell like when crushed?
Has it had its top cut off at some time?
If, in spite of your request for an exact answer, accuracy doesn't
matter too much, I'm inclined to guess it may be a Lawson's cypress. At
least that's a starting-point for argument from the experts.

Thanks Mike.

The crushed leaves smell like....pine!!
I pass, I think. Can you tell us why you want to know? Unless you very
properly just want to know for its own sake, any advice on care is
likely to be much the same whatever cypressy kind of thing it is.

Yes, I asked because I had previously asked for prunung advice, and one
of the respondents wanted to know the variety of the tree in question.

PS I think it was you that asked!!!
