This tree is from northern michigan. I put it in my yard. What kinda spruce is it exactly?

The first two pics suggest Colorado Spruce - Picea pungens - the needles should be 3/4" to 1 1/4" long, all around the stem, be rigid, and very sharp ends. The last pic suggests White Spruce Picea glauca -- 1/2" to 3/4' long, mostly on the upper side of the stem, and much softer needles.
