Also an ID would be good if possible, I was only guessing it was a Shimpaku. I would not be surprised if I'm wrong ( don't shoot me if I'm wrong)
Definately not Shimpaku Juniper.

Possibly horizontalis douglasi or something else. It has a different feel, a little spikey close to the trunk and a different smell to Shimpaku.

Guess what I found. An explination why leaving foliage on a conifer helps in recovery :D
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.
