Thank you for posting the picture. It looks like a cross between a Norfolk pine and a palm tree. I’ve certainly never seen anything quite like that before.

The Japanese Plum Yew (Cephalotaxus harringtonii) "Harringtonia" is very close. (I've been a Horticulturalist/ Botanist for the past 45yrs, and am now retired.)

Another tree thought extinct for millions of years is the Metasequoia. 5 were discovered in a valley in China in about 1946. Know one in town knows how, but three were growing at a house locally. They were cut down because they were too close to the house. They get to be 200 tall. The trees can be purchased online, but plan for a large growth area.
