Seen these is several botanical gardens and fell in love with this tree (which is rare for me to like a non-palm)... but am really confused as to what it is, really... there are two commonly used scientific names, and they sure look like the same tree to me... but are very unrelated names... both Cupressus... but one is C torulosa var. cashmeriana, and the other is C himalaica var. darjeelingensis... which is the REAL Kashmir Cypress? Any conifer experts?

This is my wimpy seedlings ...hardly blue.. yet.
