Needles are very short, about 3/4" or 2cm. It's a very attractive, fluffy tree. Not a spruce, as I had originally thought. The needles are too short to be a spruce or a pine. After some lengthy comparing of needles and growth habits, I finally arrived at what I believe is the proper identification. The Blue Atlas Cedar is a good, tidy landscape tree. This one was not "in nature," but planted near a business.

Identifying the different conifers can be very confusing. There are "old world conifers" and "new world conifers" to make it seem even more baffling. gardenerspath.com/plants/landscape-trees/identifying-conifers
