I bought a small evergreen tree at least ten years ago. It has flowers on the underside of the branches in May/June and is very slow growing more out than upwards. However, unfortunately, it was being obscured by a cherry tree, so I decided to replant it, but alas it looks to be dying, but I cannot remember the name of it. Can anyone identify it please.

Your picture is too fuzzy, and out of focus. Can you be more specific?

Maybe it is a spruce but hard to tell from you photo.

This appears to be a conifer which would not have flowers.
Can you provide a better picture?

Evergreen that flowers?

The flowers rule out spruce.

The photo is a bad joke, not even going to try to guess.

I didn't read the text very well did I.

Hi, thanks for all your replies, yes, terrible photo, sorry about that, it poured down all day yesterday when I took it, so have been out and taken a better one, plus a close up. The "flowers" were perhaps tiny cones, that were pinkish purple on the underside. Hopefully someone can now identify it.

Well it's a fir tree so no flowers only cones, probably Picea pungens "
Montgomery" but there are also some Abies species that are grey leaved.

It looks very like a Blue Spruce.

HOORAY, I have been searching for hours on the web and have found it. It is ABIES PROCERA GLAUCA PROTRATA - here is a pictu

Thanks everyone for trying to help me. I just need to know where to buy one now.

That's easy if you are in the UK.....go to....

http://apps.rhs.org.uk/rhsplantfinder/

and enter the name and you will get a list of all registered nurseries in
your area that have it, they will probably not be Garden centres but proper
nurseries, so no toilets or cafe, just lots of interesting plants.

Well done Carol.

Bob, I have clicked on your link and it shows me 3 sources, Scotland, South and East, the East one is where I bought my oriignal plant whilst on holiday. Have already written to the Scotland one asking if they have one in stock. Thanks for your information and help.
