Help Me Determine What Type of Tree This is (flower, landscaping, growing)

[American Luxury]

There has been a tree growing in our landscaping for a few years and I decided to dig it out since it was becoming too obvious it was there. I'm thinking it's some type of Juniper, but I know their sizes can vary.

Looks like a cedar; we have those popping-up in our flower beds all the time.

Looks like a cedar to me too.

Some junipers are also called cedars. As to which one...there are probably 50 different species.

It looks like a Red Cedar...but it could be a cultivar.

Might be a deodar cedar.

A quick way to tell - OP, grab a branch in your hand. If it feels like you've grabbed a fistful of aggressive sewing needles - it's a deodar.

If the needles are soft, it might be a podocarpus.

But conifers vary so widely, they can be really hard to identify from a photo. You might clip a branch and show it to a landscaper's nursery.

Some type of cedar for sure, but those yellow tips of new growth make me think it's a cultivar of some kind.
