I don't know that is what I am asking.

I know, Brian. I was just confused by your previous title. I have two of these, yet small.

Had a look at some pictures of the name you gave and all were green.
My photo has cream variegation so assume a variation on it.

Thuja plicata 'Irish Gold' (v), Thuja plicata Zebrina, Thuja arborvitae Yellow Ribbon are possibilities. What is the tree bark like?

Scotsgran@Sorry, but Thuja plicata doesn´t have that structure of branches as this tree. Sorry Brian, the best would be to take small branch with you to the nearest Botanic garden. They would tell you with certainty what it is.

Don't be sorry Katarina. I did not know that and am glad you can tell us more.

Thank you. That was a statement of a statesman.

Hi Brian, I'm not to hot on pines or fires trees but at a stab how about a chamaecyparis type, maybe Chamaecyparis obtusa Baldwin's Variegated but now I look at it yours maybe a bit big for that one... Good luck anyway.

Was it a self seeder? If so, maybe it's none of the above suggestions but a brand new one, curtesy of the wind or the birds!!! Name it yourself Brian!!
