Need help identifying this evergreen....PLEASE:)

Deodora?

Appears to be a pine tree....(Christmas Tree).. rub your hand along the branch, your hand will smell of pine..

By the way it's very out of shape, do some pruning ...

It does look like a Deodora. I wouldn't prune it until you get a definite identification.

Looks like balsam- I have those along my shoreline and I prune a foot up to allow air circulation -

It isn't a Deodora, they are a hedging evergreen. I believe it is a pine tree.

one of the hemlock varieties I think - not a deodora, which was my first impression from the smaller photo -- but not the right color, nor branching style

I believe it is an eastern white pine. The needles and bark match when I blew up the photo. They should not be pruned and confirm tot he angle of any slope. They are beautiful trees!

Can't wait to hear the verdict! It is a darn beautiful tree! My girlfriend in Asheville has a variety of pine, but yours looks prettier!

Looks like a spruce evergreen. Do not believe you prune a spruce???

I'm guessing a white spruce....can't wait to see what she really is. Keep us posted Thanks.....

I live in NC, and this tree may be a Long-Leaf Pine.

Blue spruce

it is hard to tell from the photo but definitely not a pine or hemlock it would be a balsam or in the spruce family

There are so many variety's of this type of tree I wouldn't want to guess. I'm pretty sure it isn't a white pine, I have a white pine and it looks nothing like this beauty. I can't wait to find out what it is. One thing for sure it is thriving and I would leave well enough alone.

The wait is over, ladies and gentlemen! Silas Brown of the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service whom I found through your recommendation, Maryse, says....

"Yes, this is a SPRUCE....don't know the variety but it looks like a COLORADO BLUE SPRUCE". Not wanting to question the professionals, I'm passing this information on knowing full well the jury may still be out! We'll continue to investigate this when we arrive in Franklin, providing a sample for a hands and eyes on examination.

I'll pass on our next findings, even if they should be duplicated! Thank you all for your input.

Spruce it is; hemlocks have longer softer needles; white pines are much taller;

I would not prune the tree; esp. not the back lower branches; these help the tree;

if the tree is leaning; call the tree "the leaning NC Spruce"; do not move the Tree;

Thank you for your input. Rest assured, this unique beauty will not be pruned nor moved....nor will her identical sister🙃 Yes, we're lucky enough to have two!

Love your proposed name....both of the trees are actually growing straight as straight can be....on the side of the mountain!

it is a fir,but hard for me to see ,for sure what family,it could be some thing like the Deodora. It is not any kind of pine,needles are way to short for a pine!

It is a blue spruce. Do not prune it.

I agree with Ron it's a Blue Spruce . Pine trees have long needles and balsam needles are flat and smell like balsam when you rub them between your fingers. I will be watching to see what the dna results are ,

It looks like a redwood. If it is don't trample the root zone as they are very shallow rooted and just the walking on the root area will severely damage it, if not kill it.

DEFINITELY A FRAZIR FIR- NATIVE TO NC

Spruce or fir. Take a clipping to a local nursery. They could help identify...
