tree identification
Hello,
I need to identify this tree (unfortunately dying) in order to replace it with a new one of the same species. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...1/DSCN0791.JPG Many thanks, Paolo |

However, the foliage makes me think of coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens). Before replacing your dead tree, it would be a good idea to find out why it died. Otherwise, you risk having another dead tree. -- David E. Ross Climate: California Mediterranean, see http://www.rossde.com/garden/climate.html Gardening diary at http://www.rossde.com/garden/diary |

Before investing time, $$ and hope, maybe check with an arborist familiar with your area. HB |

My idea was about some kind of fir (Abies alba ?). I would discard the Sequoia option, since the bark looks quite different, moreover the tree (sorry I forgot to mention) is in Italy, where sequoia I think are quite uncommon. The cedar theory instead, put me in doubts: looking at some pictures online, I should say it is very similar... So, how can I distinguish between a cedar and a fir ? Sorry for my incompetence, but I am just starting to work in my garden :) Anyway I would not plant the new tree exactly in the same place (close by there is a persimmon tree, which grew up a lot, so the new tree would have little sun exposure). Thanks, Paolo |

Thanks, Paolo The general form in the first photo resembles a cedar, but the foliage in the second photo shows that it is definitely NOT a cedar. From the illustrations in my favorite garden book, it could indeed be a fir (Abies); but it could also be a spruce (Picea). If the tree ever had cones, the distinction is easy. Fir cones point up, and spruce cones point down. Unless you are in the mountains, I think the climate in Italy is not appropriate for either fir or spruce. I never see either growing where I live, which has a climate similar to coastal Italy. I do see many cedars. Redwoods do grow here, but they struggle. -- David E.
