What kind of tree is this? (some kind of evergreen)

[Lynden-Jeff]

Need to replace one of these, not sure exactly what type. Can anyone put in some input.

Cheers

That friend looks like a douglas fir. I could be wrong. Maybe a closer pic of the needles.

How tall is it?
How wide?

At first glance, I'd say it looks like the form of a Douglas fir.

The one behind it on the left, could be the same, but almost looks like it has a bit smaller needles similar to a spruce.

But the ones closest to the camera - my guess is Douglas fir.

Colorado spruce

Looks like a Christmas Tree to me.... :)

It looks like a fir or a spruce. If you grab it and firm it is a spruce. If you turn the needle over and it has two white line and one dark green line down the middle it is a Concolur fir. That is my two cents

[Lynden-Jeff]

What do you mean grab it and firm it? Any other suggestions?

[Premo Services]

It is a Norway Spruce. Looks like a blue spruce but no blue.

That's not a norway.... I think it's a Nordmann Fir- slim, layered branching with space in between. Pretty sure.

if the needles are firm or hurt when you grab the tree branch, generally it is a spruce tree what type of spruce I do not Know. Take a branch and a picture to a good nursery and they can take it from there.

I will do the branch test today. I will just quote it high as a douglas fir (about 225 for a 8 ft tall tree) and hope that whatever it is is close to the fir price lol.

looks like a green spruce, possibly a doug fir. need a close up of the needles to be certain.

I think it's a green spruce.
But, granted, the pic could be alot better.

I've got a 35'-40' green spruce in our backyard, and it's got that same exact "defined horizontal" branching as you have in your pic, too...even at such at a mature age.

You'd know if the boughs are extremely rigid and very "prickly" (vs. the douglas fir which is MUCH, MUCH softer to the touch.

On a side note....the little Alberta spruces that are used in landscapes everywhere today... were originally taken from "witches brooms" found in green spruces.
