You're in luck, definitely not a blue cedar (Cedrus atlanticus). A closer view would help, but it has the jizz of a spruce, perhaps Picea glauca.

Despite what was said above, I thought it was generally recommended not to heavily feed suffering plants, unless it was lack of nutrients they were suffering from. Rather wait for them to recover before then giving them a good feed. Doesn't look like it has been short of nutrients, it's got a long leader.

It is looking very dry where you have put it. All the rain we have had this year and there is yellow dry-looking grass around it. These plants grow in places of high rainfall naturally.
