Two Picea albertanica conicas (and a boxtree). Planted out when they got too big in pots to bring in at Christmas. About 30 years old. I think yours might be a more fastigiate form.
location: Surrey Hills, England, ex-woodland acidic sand. "Have nothing in your garden that you don't know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
Thankyou Everyone for your help, I will try my best to save the Tree, once we get better Weather? ( just had 18 inches of Snow in West Yorkshire) I will plant it out in the Woodland near me
Don't envy you the snow fall @connie77. As far as the Xmas tree is concerned tho do be careful. If the woodland doesn't belong to you contact the owner and check whether the tree would be appropriate. Better safe than sorry
There were lots of those in the shops in December, and I bet most of them were used for indoor decoration and are now dead or dying. I bought one for a display outside by my front door (smaller than yours) for a few quid just before Christmas, is labelled Picea glauca conica.
It's a relatively small and slow-growing conifer, much better than some
for keeping in a container, and not huge when full-grown, apparently. If that's what yours is, you'll be able to keep it potted for probably several years if you want to, moving on to a bigger pot every so often. That's what I plan to do with mine.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
