    Yellow/Green pine leafed conifer? with cone like buds on end of branches. 6 years planted over 7ft in height now. Would like to find out what the name is please as I am moving and would like to get another one for my new home. Any help would be very gratefully received.

    It's really hard to tell from the photo, do you have a close up of the foliage?
    Does your tree lose it's needles during the winter or stay green all year round?
    It could be a Hemlock, or if it loses its needles perhaps a Larch. A close up would really help us identify it.

    Can you get a picture when it is not quite so bright? and then get a few close photos of the foliage? and the cones?

    Is this a cryptomeria japonica by any chance? I am only guessing as I am not familiar with this specific conifer.

    I am not that familiar with these but reminds me of pics of weeping juniper.

    Cool, I have never seen one and think it is an interesting plant. Now is the time to plant, so I hope you can find one soon.
