Are the needles fairly sharp pointed, easy to roll between two fingers (four-sided or diamond-shaped in cross section), and held on the twig on peg-like projections that persist after the needle falls? Clue: the cones are papery. These are spruces
Option 2
Are the needles not sharp pointed, not easy to roll between two fingers (flat in cross section), and not held on the twig on peg-like projections?
