Thanks for posting the video. The video was small on my screen and I have no audio so I can't be 100% positive but it looks to me like your shrub might be a sweet little hybrid dwarfed balsam fir shrub.
The large 'piney' branches growing out of it are indeed reverted branches (reverted back to the natural large ancestor fir state) and I agree with luv4horses that you should cut off those bigger, reverted branches. If you leave them growing on the shrub they will continue to grow really big like balsam fir trees in their larger natural state and they can outgrow and weaken and ruin your beautiful little shrub, possibly cause the main trunk of the dwarf to bend and break from the weight of them.
Hi all. Have an evergreen shrub in the yard that about 3 years ago sprouted what looks like a pine tree growing from the main trunk of the bush. It has gotten very large this last year. Several people have confirmed it is growing directly from the shrub. Any thoughts on this are helpful. I don't know how to add a pic or I would to show the strange looking shrub. Thanks in advance!
I have heard of an even more unusual place in which a tree grows but it's not a garden.
