I found this growing. It is definitely.some sort of tree (I know, it's hard to tell). I've seen young Eastern Red Cedar around & those are usually a lot rougher in the needles than this, which was really soft. I did plant two Tamarack, so far, so maybe it's that? If not, I really don't know what this is.

Looks cedery.

Your location is very important when pinpointing a tree type.

Determining the difference between Bockings 4 and 14 is done by consensus. It's like trying to identify the difference between twins.

My guess would be Common Juniper - Juniperus_communis

Juniper berries are awesome. Great tree to have around.

Cargo bikes are cool

Well, if it is, it's right where I wanted to plant the rest of my pines & I didn't even know I needed that one, lol. Range map says those trees are around here, somewhere.

Yeah, that does look like a juniper.  Could be a common, many types of juniper exist and so many look alike.  I'll agree with Edward's common juniper, as they are found kinda close to where you are.

Its easiest to clip them when they are still small.

Common juniper, I like these small trees cause they can give a good 2+ feet of growth per year in good soil and the deer and such won't bother them. The roots are very fibrous.
