Can someone ID this conifer, please. An extraordinary photo! Amazing how the unfolding process works so beautifully.

I am trying to get an identification and I will let you know what I find out!

Maybe white cedar?

  I believe it is a Hinoki falsecypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa) cultivar after taking more photos and reading my conifer guides.

I returned to take some more photographs of this beautiful tree and looked at my conifer guide. I believe this is a Hinoki falsecypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa). It most closely matches the cultivar ‘Crippsii’.
