I just visited your link. It is the same tree. Thank you for helping.

Yes I agree. Looks like a Norfolk Island pine, thus an ornamental. See mine (as a background to a frog) here http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/172... While "Araucaria columnaris is among the most common Araucarias planted as an ornamental tree and street tree in warm temperate climates," I think the midstem needles of yours (last photo) rule A. columnaris out.

Thank you all for ID. I also think it is an ornamental tree.

This looks like a conifer from the genus Araucaria, section Eutacta. Here's a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Araucaria Many of the Araucaria species are endemic to New Caledonia, an island east of Australia - could this tree be ornamental rather than native?
