Pretty much - it's not a prickly tree at all...
Here's a close-up of the needles/fruit of the one I planted
I was heartbroken when I came back from a road-trip and it was brown-- felt like a murderer.
and yet another edit -- the original location was next to where the 2 conifers had originally been, slightly shifted in the hopes of it being a better spot. The new location will be in the near-center of the oval that's in the near-center of my yard - what I call my memorial garden since I planted it with money we made from selling my folks' house. If I rearrange my office slightly, I'll still be able to see it from my desk during the day.
