I.D. please

This looked to me like a Sequoiadendron (Wellingtonia), from its shape and form.

 

But the bark was very hard, unlike Sequoiadendron which you can punch hard without hurting your hand, also the foliage does not seem right.

 

Can anyone help??

Have you been planting in your front room again, Dave?

[skyhuck]

Thats my kitchen mate.

Thats my kitchen mate.

 

And that makes tree planting more sensible? It was hard to see through the foliage

How tall is the tree?

[skyhuck]

60ft ish.

Could it be a Cryptomeria japonica / Japanese Red Cedar ?

You're not punching it hard enough then, you big, tree abusing girl

I punched one very hard with no ill effect

 

I believe in the states they are sometimes called "punch bark"
