Wanted to test if I was allergic. Picked up a branch off the ground (this tree sheds like crazy!) and breathed deeply about 3" away. 25 min later throat/pharynx inflamed and itchiness on the back of neck. Thanks once again for your identification and advice! We'll have to find a different tree for our yard. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thx, apparently this is not of the regular oak species like the others around here. May also need to take a whiff of the tree and see if I'm allergic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Located near Sacramento, California. Soil tends to be like clay here, oaks are native to the area. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Woah! You guys nailed it! Spent hours trying to identify it. Thank you so much for the caution as well. Plan was to put one in our yard about 10 feet from our foundation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's an evergreen, fruit may be a fungus... Not sure if that helps. No flowers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have never seen a tree like this before. Bark like Cedar, but leaves are very different. Bright yellow-orange needle-like fruit shows up in the spring/summer. Any ideas? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
