Im making plans to build a permanent deer corridor/windscreen along a fence row. I found the type of Pine ? Fir ? Spruce ? I want but I cant identify it. I took some pictures with my camera phone. Its the same height as the other pines planted in same area. Can someone tell me what they believe these are called ?
Here are some pictures of both different pines and the one I desire is on the left in the back. It is much thicker.

Thanks for the help. Sorry I should have taken better pictures. I believe both of the suggested are native to high elevations and far northwest America. I should have taken a picture of the bark on the tree but the best I can do in my National Audubon Society identification book is Red Spruce but Im not convinced thats really right either.
[color:#3333FF]I guess I should be asking a different question...what kind of trees that look very similar to the one I want in the picture are know to be good growers in this area ?[/color]
 
Pic # 1 of you hand is a spruce
Pic # 2 of you hand is a white pine.

Spruce are VERY slow growers. White is about the vastest.

I agree with the leeland idea they are the fastest but grow VERY large and you need appropriate space to plant them.

I like Virginia Pine, $94/1,000 seedlings. Grow about 2 foot/year with fertilizer and rain. Mine last year grew about 1 foot even with the drought (well less about 4 inches with the deer and animals eating the tops out of some of them).
 
I have planted dozens of Pines and Norway Spruce trees in my yard as a privacy barrier and wind break on the north side .
Most of my deciduous trees are planted on the south side for shade in the summer , and allow solar gain in the winter after the leaves fall off .
I like White pines for appearance , density , and growth rate . If you pinch the ends off as they grow in the spring , they will become more dense the following year . I have grown some nice looking trees from scrub looking trees by proper pruning as they grow .
