Alaskan Cedar
Leucodemis Pine
I am still having a hard time telling a spruce from a pine. To me they're all "Christmas Trees"! They're all beautiful and quite different. Some are kind of rare and some are super common. The biggest trees in our yard are Black Locusts. No pictures of them. Right now they all look dead, but soon the leaves will start to pop and before you know it, they'll be all green and pretty again. They are the slowest trees in the yard to reemerge after winter.
I'll have to take some pictures of all the smaller bushes and odd trees we have and post them soon. The flowers are starting to pop all around and everything is so pretty! Just waiting for the peonies and rhodendrons to start blooming. They are gorgeous!

I'm the same with spruce and pines! Probably because we grew up in the land of only pine trees.
Chris will love the weeping cedar. One of our local nurseries has an espelier (sp?) atlas cedar. Way cool!
Does your locust have spines yet?
What are spines??? Hahaha! No sprouts yet or anything. They are SO slow.
I love the contorted white pine! The needles are very expressive.
I found myself in the same spot when I moved to Oklahoma - very different flora than Florida.
