A Cedar of sorts

[NickfromWI]

I'm thinking this is a cedar...

 

[NickfromWI]

the trunk

CAUTION: This tree is in a heavily irrigated park and the base of this tree is a bit more worn away from the sprinklers AND there was like white build up on the tree from all the water landing on the trunk.

Close up of the needles...

And the cone...

 

[TreeCo]

Chamaecyparis thuja plicata

 

[jimmyq]

I would say Chamaecyparis of some sort Nick
for comparison sake: http://images.google.ca/images?hl=en&q=thuja+plicata+cone

I don't think, from the fruit picture, that it is a Chamaecyparis, but it looks a lot like a Cupressus (Cypress) of some kind.

 

[MikePoor]

Cupresses macrocarpa (monterey cypress)

 

[Bodean]

Some kind of juniper.

Is my guess, for a 2 cent value.

you're making up trees!

definitely cupressus but i think the cones have too few scales to be macrocarpa. maybe Cupressus arizonica..it has flaky bark.

 

[sawman]

i think its Cupressus glabra (smooth arizona cypress)
