This is a spruce tree in our backyard. I have always assumed that it was a blue spruce (Picea pungens), but I\'m pretty sure that it\'s not. Now I\'m trying to figure out what it is.
The top cone is one that I figure the squirrels have stripped and eaten the seeds.
Cone length 7 cm, scale length 15 mm
