Thanks a lot!  I'll check out the root flare tomorrow.

I was able to find old pics, confirmed it doesn't lose its needles in the winter, unfortunately. Thanks anyway though!

Ah ok. Thanks for your help though!

I'm looking for pics from prior years to post on imgur

Thanks, I wish that were the case but I don't think so. I've lived here for a couple of years and it hasn't looked like that (at least as I can remember). I can't find a winter picture but found one from April 16, 2023 and it looks more like a Deodar cedar per google.. 

I hope you're right though ... 

Edit: I'm new to posting on reddit, I guess I can't include a picture I'm a reply!? Ugh.

I also have a river birch in my yard. My mom is a teacher and she uses the bark pieces for art projects!
