Help identify a tree
Can someone help identify a tree that is growing in our front yard?
It is an evergreen, about 25' and probably around 25 yrs old. It has blue-green needles (~3/4" long) growing mostly in clusters. The cones grow from the middle of the needle clusters. They are on average 1 1/4" long, skinny, soft and scaly. They resemble brown caterpillars, and there are tons of them. The bark is dark and scaly. We have lived here for 19 years and the tree was probably planted the year before we bought the house. At the time it was 8'-9' and had sparse unevenly spaced horizontal branches (my husband nicknamed it 'Bill-the-Cat tree' for its spastic appearance). A landscaper we used called it a larch, but it doesn't look like any pictures of larches that I found. Thanks! Sophia |
