This venerable plant is growing in downtown Louisville, KY.
I think that this is likely a Cedrus libani var. stenocoma, but I'd like the other venerable participant(s) here to review that identification.
Let me know if I can provide further imagery - I took a bunch of pics this afternoon.
Which Cedrus am I?
Could be anything other than C. deodara; identification is very tricky with all four Mediterranean cedar taxa having overlapping characters (which is why I prefer to treat them all in one species ;-)) Any pics of fully closed but near-mature green cones?

Thanks! Unfortunately not enough extra; pics 1 and 3 in the new set are 2014 cones, and pic 2 is an immature pollen cone.

See? That's why I keep coming back.
Back at work tomorrow - should be able to scout this one for the green cones.
