What is it? Evergreen

[acrajchel]

I have a customer that lost a tree and wants to replace it, but I don't know what it is. I don't deal much with Evergreens. Any help would be awesome. Sorry pictures aren't the best.

Pretty standard green in color, no bluish color or anything. You can see the needles and smaller branches weep, it does have cones on it right now. Located in Central KY.

Thanks for the help

Need a close up of branch and cones .
Could be spruce but hard to tell from a distance

Picea abies/Norway spruce is my first guess, but a closeup would be better.

Yep

Let that sucker grow for 60 or 70 more years then sell it to Rockefeller Center for.the Christmas tree.

Likely Picea abies. Cones are too big for P. glauca and the secondary/tertiary weeping branches don't fit P. pungens

Is that the same tree?

First pic straight up looks like Douglas fir, pseudotsuga menziesii to me but that a little far East...

Better pics would be great.

Not a chance a Douglas . Cut those all the time . Spruce for sure

Is it possible that this is Picea koyamae?

My vote's also for Norway spruce. I was never taught any Latin names. Well I was once from a friend in his private 70 acre old growth parcel. He rambled off a lot of names while pointing at various trees. I remember not one. I envy you guys who have that down.

Times 2 on sean's different trees thought.

Picea abies exhibit genetic variation and different site conditions could also be affecting color and density.

Picea abies exhibit genetic variation and different site conditions could also be affecting color and density.

Variation due to site is phenotypic plasticity.

 

[JD3000]

Yes it is. And seed source grown trees can also exhibit different physical attributes from one tree to the next of the same species. So is it nature or nuture? Dont know.

Still think its P. abies.

Phenotype equals genotype plus environment
