|  Anyone know this HUGE conifer?
I spotted this on the way home, growing in someones front garden. I'm guesing its a quite common garden species, but is a magnificent specimen!   |

I initially thought it was a pinus radiata, but i can't see the needles close enough possibly nigra. look how it has blown the wall in front of the car. jeez i wouldnt have it as close as that to the building. that must be taking all the light out of that place

Definately Looks like a Cypressus of some sort to me. Could be a good sized leyland cypress. Structure and dead wood etc is too different for a Pine.

A closer look at the structure of the needles would make it easier to I.D aswell as conestructure aswell. Maybee of the Cedrus family?

Looks more like cedrus deodar than anything else....bark doesn't seem quite right though. Too much deadwood, limbs too large to be leylandii....uhh, maybe.... |

| Re: Anyone know this HUGE conifer?
Its definately a mac (Cupressus macrocarpa), 100% positive. I spend around a month each year repairing broken limbs after winter storms.
