    I've got this little one growing Aidan. I rescued it from between two paving slabs at an inch high, it's now 12 inches. The top of the main stem is different to yours which is why I think yours is Norway Spruce. I think mine might be a Douglas Fir.

      Douglas fir has soft foliage, spruce tends to be prickly.

        Saplings of Picea sitchensis (Sitka Spruce) are very similar to yours .
