Fir?

Can anyone ID this fir please?

 

I'm guessing at Fraser or Douglas fir Dianne. Silver Surfer is out plant identification expert and may be she'll come along and confirm it for you.

 

My guess would be a spruce

 

Conifer id is a mine field..... even with the tree right next to you where you can touch and smell it!
Normally I wouldn't attempt a conifer id from a pic such as this.

However, I am inclined to think it is Picea abies...a Norway spruce...
one used commonly as a Christmas tree.
I just have a feeling someone popped a small one into the garden after Christmas.

Help with id in link.



To be sure you need to look at the base of the needles.
It has a tiny lump where it joins the branch...commonly called a peg.

There again I could be a million miles from a correct answer!

 

Ooh thank you! I will inspect it in the morning! I get the feeling it was a Christmas tree.

 

@Silver surfer i have taken some better photos, what do you think? I have tried to get what could be the pegs in it? Thank you for your help

 

Far better pics thanks.
Yes ...those are the pegs.
Believe you have a Norway spruce.
Nice when young...however not the best tree in a small garden.

If it was me I would grub it up, far better plants to take its place.

 

That just has to go! Thank you so much.
