99% sure it’s Mourning cypress (Cupressus funebris) is indigenous to central and southwestern China. It’s grown as an ornamental in public parks and gardens in temperate regions of the world. In colder climates, it’s planted indoors. There’s a legendary 800-year-old specimen at Black Dragon Pool Mountain Temple near Kunming, China.
No way one could grow here, much too cold. We are technically listed as zone 6 but when buying plants, I go for zone 4 due to extreme cold snaps we get every few years.

haha, but you were right I think about the genus now that I look better, those cones are from Hesperocyparis or Cupressus

It’s Mexican cypress, or Cupressus lusitanica. It can live in zone 3.
