I saw this tree on a hike in Griffith Park, Los Angeles. The pine needles were very small. The foliage seemed to drape over and hang from the branches.

For sure Cedrus sp. Most common in California is C. deodara. The form resembles this species but it usually has longer needles so I’m not 100% certain on the species.

If not deodara then likely atlantica. Libani can be seen occasionally but is fairly rare in California.

Thank you! Yeah after looking at pictures of those species Libani seems to look the most similar. The size and tightness of the needle clusters and even the coloring seem very close.
