This tree and it's neighbors were located at an ice cream place. The tips are blueish - like a Colorado Blue Spruce, but the rest of the needles were ordinary green. They were soft as well, so maybe I have a type of Fir. There were no cones to help with identification. I've never seen it before so I thought I'd ask for an ID.
A Blue Tipped Spruce
You need to develop the habit of collecting a sample of your unknown plant, and take it back to photo in friendlier conditions.
You may very well have a Pseudotsuga menziesii specimen there. There are glaucous forms of this species.
That is not a Colorado Spruce of any type, in my estimation. Branching habit/form are all wrong.
Yep, Pseudotsuga menziesii subsp. glauca, with, as usual for humid climate regions, needlecast disease problems.
Resin
Douglas Fir. Thanks!
