My apologies, I had a bad back get acutely worse and was not using my iphone at all. No computer here.
Thank you all for your input.
I will take better pictures of the detail and bark.
It is only about 4' high, but wide and has branches to the ground.
The larger plant behind the mystery tree is a hicks yew which got huge. I planted it about 30 years ago.
I do have a chinese blue fir that is starting to grow now.
Mystery plant is still dormant as the yews are starting now.
I noticed in silversurfers post , "needle not sharp" , but these needles are VERY SHARP! They go thru common garden gloves, i wear my welding gloves to prune!
