as per my knowledge its Abies spp. looking more similar with Abies spectabilis found in Himalayas. Please check ‘Conifers of the world by Dolimore and jackson’ for clear identification.

Also clear pic of leaves+ male & female cone is needed for authentic identification

I am glad … said this: “Also clear pic of leaves+ male & female cone is needed for authentic identification.”

i remember asking in another thread if you had collected pic of cones…

conifers are tricky to diagnose on just pics. in passing

Thanks for your feedback which I do appreciate. Please convey my thanks to …

Does it not look similar to one of the Pinus species posted by you recently?

---

I think it could be Picea pungens or Picea abies.

I tried but could not find a match with any of these.
