Smells pungently of pine, but I dont see pinecones, just little mini ones. Can't get closer, not sure what is under that 3' of snow. Area. Eastern continental divide Pennsylvania, i80 along Snow Shoe, Pa area..

That's an Eastern Hemlock - Tsuga canadensis.

I've been waiting for a technological breakthrough on computerized sniff tests. I'm sure it's just around the corner...

Ditto to Tsuga canadensis.

They don't have any resinous scent, that must be coming from something else?

Only green stuff around. Maybe I am just sensitive to their smell, but I would have sworn pine by smell. A dense fresh smell of pine. It smelled awesome. Thanx guys- I always knew my sense of smell was diff than most- first hint was when someone told me deer piss has no odor. Whew ammonia! Hemlock was the last answer I had expected, chuckl
