I have 2 of these trees growing on either side of the porch of an old house in central Texas. Evergreen, tall, leaves are about 4" long but very narrow, like 1/4" to 1/2", thick and dark green. Fruit looks like a juniper berry but single and much larger. Not a cedar like we have growing in the hill country, leaves are much larger, branches grow upwards instead of downwards, tree silloutte doesn't have the cedar shape. Top half of one is dead, some branches on the other are dead....would like to know how to care for and trim but I haven't seen these before. Thanks!

Google Texas agriculture service-- your discription isn't clear enough for identification-- but your ag service may have a pamphlet of common trees in your area-- or someone there can help.
good luck

Not sure, but if it has juniper-like berries, it probably is some species of juniper.
Anyway, you can check out the site below if you want. You answer questions about where the tree is found, what shape it is, what the leaves look like, what the fruit looks like, etc, then you will get a list and pictures of possible matches.
