Cedar ident

Looks like Cedrus atlantica 'glauca' to me. There are 3 of them on the estate I work on. Cones looks the same. 

 

There were a few hundred saplings under one of them this year. Growing a load for later. Will have some to pass on or sell in about 5 years.

I tried to read up about this as I worked on a few cedars over the winter. As far as I got to, the old atlas ascends is only _usually_ true but cone form is a reliable indicator.

One of the trees we did the customer swore there were no cones but once we took it down they were there on the branches.

I also have some friends who live next door to a house called The Cedars, except from their back garden you can see the cedar is dead as a doornail. Apparently they were advised it would be safe for 20 years like that so in no rush to take it down, naturally decay resistant.

I was thinking it would be a nice log to mill though...
