Hi all,
I purchased this tree in 2000 as a sapling, about 12 inches high and it was formed like round mound.
It sat without much change for about 5 years, went untended then deer chewed/rubbed it and it was badly deformed at about 2ft high. I was going to remove it, then about 2 seasons ago it started growing VERY fast and now it is over 10ft high and very wide. It has spread out at the base, I think due to the deer chomping its crown off early on. I have not seen any cones yet. I'd like an ID because I'd like to find another one. It's gorgeous.
Thanks :)
