Ok, I'll go out and count the long needles.
The other tree has a really nice tree trunk and like you say, it's mostly green, but it sometimes looks bluish so perhaps the new growth I'll check when the
spring comes. The trunk is attractive in color - sort of an orange-brown that goes with my staircase nicely - I left the railing of the stairs unplaned to match the color, otherwise it would be the color of brazilian walnut which is orange-brown.
