Can anyone ID this tree

This tree started to grow in my garden on a steep bank. I potted it a good few months back in winter and and thankfully it seems to be doing well. Can anyone tell me what it is?

 

Could be a Scots Pine.

 

Thanks guys that might narrow it down a bit, I'll do a bit more research.

 

Pines have needles in bundles of 2, 3 or 5 and they are usually longer.

 

Are you saying spruce as well Pete?

 

Well spruce would be my guess, Picea.

 

It's not a Scots Pine, the growth is quite distinctive compared to others.

 

The strong crown on the main stem suggests to me it's Norway Spruce.

 

I had looked at some pics of Norway Spruce saplings online and they looked very similar to what I found.

I'll have to think carefully where I plant it, the can grow to 30m tall.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to help me out

 

Am I right in thinking they are actually the "flowers", with the new growth coming out of the centre?

 

Yes Pete, when the pollen drops it's like a cloud of dust. The Scots pine carries both male and female parts. Sadly I had to have the tree felled last Autumn as it was leaning badly.

 

My tree has sprung to life. Does this image help?

 

It still looks like a spruce to me.
