That conifer is a Serbian Spruce (Picea omorika). A very narrow species native to Europe, it makes a great tall evergreen that requires little ground space.

The State Arboretum of Virginia (near Winchester, VA) is around an hour from you - in the less-traveled direction. It would be quite worth a visit to see many conifers and how they perform in conditions similar to yours. Or just invite me by on my annual trek to and from DC in late April.

Yes, one Larch going 20 feet in one direction, and another Larch going 20 feet in the other direction. I am pretty happy with how that has all turned out in appearance, as well as the relative ease of growing these plants under less than stellar conditions. They are a great foil for just about every other kind of plant, and then they really shine with their fall colors.
