It's actually a true cedar... I'm guessing it's an Atlas cedar.

Thank you!

Sequoiadendron giganteum aka Big Tree, Giant Sequoia

Not an Oregon native but widely planted, including in forest settings and on farms. The oldest and biggest in Oregon are approaching 150 years of age and are over 10 feet diameter.

Sequoiadendron are one of my favorite landscape trees. I don't call them giant Sequoia anymore because coast redwoods grow roughly the same size and the USA diameter champ is a coast redwood.

In 2020, we found a new world's tallest planted Sequoiadendron near Eagle Point, Oregon. Over 212 feet now.
