    Ah 🙄 my response about it looking healthy was in error ... I was mistakenly looking at the photo posted by @Ladybird4   

    I agree with her that your little tree doesn’t look like a yew.

    @Ladybird4 you're probably right. I did get it from the Christmas stuff, labeled as a mini Christmas tree. I thought it was a Yew.

    You said far better, but does that mean I can have it inside?

    It won't be happy indoors :( ... even Christmas trees start to be unhappy indoors after a week or so.  

    There's lots of lovely houseplants you can have that'll be much happier living indoors with you.  :)

    @Helen Clay - I agree with @Dovefromabove. It is already showing signs of distress. They do not like the warmth and dryness of our centrally heated homes. Outside is best.

    Right.  I've changed my glasses for a stronger pair and agree that it is definitely an unhappy conifer which needs to be outside in the open air and not subject to dry, heated indoors atmospheres.

    If you check the link I gave you earlier there are many houseplants available which will brighten your space and help refresh your air.  Some are good at absorbing pollutants too.  Check thru the link and then check the needs of any you fancy to make sure you can provide correct lighting, heating and protection from draughts.  Many come from tropical climes and some will need regular misting to simulate their usual humidity needs.  Look before you leap.

    Yup. Definitely one of the little Conifers - chamaecyparis, probably the pisifera one, which is actually a lovely shrub.
    It needs to be outside. Sorry @Helen Clay. If you have someone you can give it too, that would be the best solution.
    Then treat yourself to a 'proper' indoor plant of some kind  ;)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Ah ok. Beginner mistake. It looked like a yew & because it's small I assumed it was a baby hahaha
    ok, I'll try again after looking through the links. Thanks everyone!

    Everyone makes mistakes.  Not everyone learns from them.  Have fun finding a suitable specimen you can love and admire and care for correctly.
