It's cupressus or thuja for sure?

I thought it was a Cupressus, don't know arizonica though? Client says it was a leylandii planted about 35 years ago, however its never been trimmed and is only about 25 feet tall. So I had doubts about it being leylandii, I now have doubts about that, and reckon it is leylandii, but a fair bit younger than he thinks!? Thoughts?...

[RobArb]

Looks to "smooth" to be a leylandii, thoughts are that it's a true cypress "Cupressus" and not the hybrid cross but hard to tell from one pic.

 

Is there a very small white dot in the middle of one of the scales?

Here's two for ya

 

1) Leaf

 

2) Cone

 

And no, they're not from the same tree

[RobArb]

Is the cone from Pinus coulteri?

 

not sure on the leaves as yet, possibly an evergreen oak

Yes and yes (Quercus coccifera)

Try a guess with this one, at a local garden I work at... Species and family if you will.

 

Clue - There used to be a champion of it's kind at Croome Landscape Park, Worcestershire, but I was told it since died from soil contamination...

At first as the image was small i thought it was some sort of maple but its not opposite attachments, so it must be something like a Kalopanax septemlobus cultivar or variety

 

Nice find:thumbup1:

[jwade]

Yep - thats the one. An unusual spiky tree.
