Not native to anywhere in the world? That must be one exotic tree :D.
I'm just messing with you. Does it grow wild in any of the western states? I wouldn't know it if it is a yard tree :).

Hey folks, I haven't had time to focus on this...we know it's a conifer, it is not native, and I got close I think with Atlas Cedar...someone will get it soon, I'm sure. Those are a lot of clues!!!

Elm Cedar (ulmus crassifolia)
Weeping Alaskan Cedar (Chamaecyparis Nootkatensis)
Remember, it's a desert climate even at altitude...has to be something that can tolerate heat and dry outs...
