Well, the bark is bungeana-ish but the needles are too long.

Cathaya argyrophylla?

Photo(needles) is not actually representative of foliage in native habitat which ranges from Arctic circle in Alaska to West Virginia/ Maryland border!

I think smivies may have it. Those tips look very Cathaya-like. I kept trying to make it a Sciadopitys, but that's not right.

"Photo(needles) is not actually representative of foliage in native habitat which ranges from Arctic circle in Alaska to West Virginia/ Maryland border!"

The genus or an actual species ranges over that area? Did you really mean "native habitat" or "where it will grow"?

...because I think you're implying it is Abies balsamea (though the natural range doesn't quite make it to Alaska or the Arctic Circle)

It's "native" and it's deciduous. That should make the answer easy now!

I think either Larix or Pseudolarix. It looks a lot like a Pseudolarix to me.

Smivies is correct since L laricina has that enormous range. The long needles are interesting -- maybe from rampant, still-tender growth.
