This is Bruce! Planta identified him as a spruce? Not sure what variety. He was a volunteer plant I found in my landscaping and I was so excited!

Defend him from critters. Squirrels and chipmunks may try to dig up the soil in search of nuts and uproot him. I had a baby pine that did not survive that
