Anyone know what kind of tree this is? I have it on a customers property but have never seen one quite like it.

Southern Trillium LLC on Jan 16, 2012Based on the photos, I would say you have a Chinafir (Cunninghamia lanceolata). See if this helps verify it for you http://www.floridata.com/ref/c/cun_lan.cfmHelpful Reply

Erica Glasener on Jan 17, 2012I agree with Southern Trillium it is a Chinafir, Cunninghamia lanceolata, an old fashioned and interesting tree you don't see much.Helpful Reply

360 Sod (Donna Dixson) on Jan 17, 2012I agree that it looks like a Cunninghamia. I have one here in the nursery now about 4 feet tall. I planted it about 3 years ago at the front entrance.Helpful Reply

Mike and Anne on Jan 17, 2012I also think it is a Cunninghamia. The foliage is stiff and prickly similar to the Araucaria araucan, known as the Monkey Puzzle Tree.Helpful Reply

Pat aka Queen of Thrift on Aug 21, 2013I had two of those in my yard where we moved from. The previous owners' young son brought sprouts from his grandfather's yard in Georgia and planted them. They told me that they were Monkey Pines They grow to be HUGE trees, and they shed those long fronds a lot and are messy, but I think they are pretty trees.Helpful Reply

York Gardener on May 24, 2014You should not trim this tree up, that way the lower limbs hide the shed brown "branches" which are actually leaves. When the tree is limbed up there are constantly shed leaves to pick up almost year round. Just like with a Southern Magnolia, let the limbs hang to the ground and hide the shed leaves, or at least most of them.Helpful Reply

Shirley Manring Fann on Aug 11, 2016Australian tree fern, this one must be very old and established. What state are you in? If you are in a northern state that has winter freezes I am surprised it survived them.Helpful Reply

Pat Reynolds on Nov 19, 2016This is definitely NOT a Monkey Puzzle tree. I had one at my home in Oregon and thought it was a cryptomeria, but it's not. I wish I could remember the botanical name but I can't.Helpful Reply
