ENTS,
I've been seeing a large conifer and I'm not sure of its
Identity.
Having seen them from Ms., to Florida, I thought they might be
Hemlocks.
Usually there located at an old farmhouse, or an old homestead.
I
stopped, measured and photographed the largest one I've seen to
date.
Located on Hwy 90 in Northwest Florida at a place called Pea
Ridge. The
tree is growing on a old Homestead adjacent to a Farmhouse.
CBH-12',
Height ~77', and Spread 57'. A conical shaped tree with dark
green
needles, cinnamon bark and 1&1/2" long pine cones
attached to the ends
of branches. Ed, I send some photos so you guys can id this
species.

Looks like Cunninghamia lanceolata to me.

Larry,
Nice Cunninghamia lanceolata (China-fir). I've seen the
species
planted widely throughout the southeast, but I've never
seen one with
that large a diameter. However, I've read they can grow
far larger in
their native east Asia.
