Araucaria heterophylla
Looks like a pine tree from a distance... "leaves" look like scales of a snake...
Seema may have nailed the ID going off of the typical pine tree shape :)
I don't have a picture of the overall shape, I was mostly trying to focus on the detail of the leaves to help ID it. I just posted another pic that shows a bit more branch shape, but from afar it had the general look of a pine tree.
Hi mommajess, do you happen to have a picture of the overall shape of this tree? It's definitely Araucaria but there could be several different species with this similar leaf look. Check out this link and look at the various species to see if you recognize the overall shape http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Araucaria
