Seems like Juniperus communis to me.

If cones fleshy Thuja occidentalis and if woody Juniperus communis

I am pretty sure this is not Thuja occidentalis. Leaves are spinous.

Cannot be Thuja. Leaves are quite different. It could be Juniper only.

Can it be Cupressus torulosa

this is Blue Point Juniper
