In my experience, pines always have their needles in bunches, whereas =
firs have flat needles arranged in flat =E2=80=9Csprays=E2=80=9D on the =
branches.  Is this not true?  The two species should therefor be easy to =
tell apart.  The hemlock, on the other hand, can be confused with fir.  =
Their needles have little stalks though.

        A not very in depth google search has led me to the possibility =

        being a fir tree.

        Can anyone out there direct me a little more?

        Thanks
