Reply:I'm not sure if this is the one your looking for or not. But I'll take a guess at it anyway. And if I'm wrong, Please forgive me. (I believe it is a Tamarack tree.) Bob.
Reply:All the above previous suggestions are good.





Also there are varieties of Japanese Maple that have a fern or feather like leaf.
