  • Question

    Recently moved to a property in North Andover, MA that hadn't been cared for for several years. Trying to identify this (coniferous?) tree and a vine growing nearby. Can you help?

    Answer

    Dear Nfriel, good afternoon. I can't see enough details of the first plant (you referred to it as a vine) to provide an identification. If you can take additional images and get closer photographs, I may be able to help. The tree is a member of the Cupressaceae (cypress family). Several genera within this family are referred to as cedars, including members of the genera Thuja, Chamaecyparis, and Juniperus. If you could provide images of the seed cones, I could help further. Best wishes.
