And a close-up of the cones, please.

We need more info.

This is why: this-happens-only-at-those-other-plant-sites

It is not my property so I can not walk in there. But the I can describe it. The needles are somewhat upright and not too long and somewhat light green. The cones are sort of a grayish purple

knock on the door and ask them what kind, otherwise, we need pictures.

Most folks love to talk to people who are admiring their landscape, Henry. If they dont know what it is, ask if you can take some closeups so you can try to find one. Your verbal description is unfortunately not enough for a positive ID.

I've done that more than once.

It's how I got my seeds from the MN state champion Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis). ;-)

It's either going to be balsam or Fraser. The shot with the cones visible is not close enough to tell if they have protruding bracts.
