Norfolk Island Pine vs. Lookalikes in Indiana Landscapes

Norfolk pines are tropical (min 45°F)—they won’t survive Indiana winters outdoors. The tree you see is likely a hardy conifer: cedar, hemlock, or similar feathery evergreen. Take a cutting to a nursery or Master Gardener for ID. It’s not a Norfolk pine.
