Where at. It looks like a Norfolk Island Pine I think. It's a warm weather pine. cannot get colder than 34 or so. Son and DIL gave us one in a pot for Christmas. I'm in the process of murdering it at present.
Put it somewhere that you don't need tidy, a glorious long lived tree but messy.
There are two over the river at Bishops Lodge, over a hundred years old and big. I don't recall them having spikes on the limbs like the Monkey Nut tree.
