Help identifying this tree branch
+11
This branch appears to be some kind of conifer, a fir perhaps. It's needles are soft. The cone parts are small and round. Please help me to identify the tree specifically. I am seeking evergreens that can survive the southeast Georgia summer.

Where did you find this? Just by the photo, it appears to be a Norfolk Island Pine. Which would survive the SE GA summer but not cold. It would have to be in a pot that could be taken in during the winter time. (If it is a Norfold Island Pine).

I don't know what it is, but if you want something to survive in Ga, take branches from trees in GA and root them, either in water or with rooting compound (available at nursery.)

Pretty certain that is a Norfolk Island Pine. They're hardier than you think, especially once well established. If you plant some they might freeze someday, but I've seen quite a few growing in our area up here in the Piedmont of North Carolina, and they're doing fine in peoples yards, not in pots, even with our infrequent snows and more frequent winter freezes.

I truly do not then that is a norfolk pine.I can usually identify plants but with pictures it is a little hard to answer.My suggestion at this point without sounding unknowledgeable(because normally I can answer the question) I hate this expression,however for your own satisfaction is there any reputable nursery in your area that could be certain. Things look a lot different in everyones location.

I always recommend going to your local nursery or landscape design place and bring a sprig with you. The professionals in your immediate area are the best ones to properly identify the trees and plants that thrive in your location.

I am very surprised to hear a Norfolk Island Pine can be planted outside in NC?

It looks like the short needle pine my father-in-law brought from northern Georgia several years ago. The older the tree gets, the stiffer the needles get and the cones become slightly larger.

Also could be a Cryptomeria evergreen tree...
