Species ID please

Domes anyone know what type of tree this is.
Thanks.

It’s developed these little cones recently. I’ve only owned it for 2 years. I’ve no idea what it is can only assume it’s a conifer.

I'm pretty confident it's a Pinus species.
The juvenile foliage is making it hard to ID. In the close-up I can see a couple of double needles as the adult foliage is beginning to emerge. See blue circle on this screenshot

The 'cones' are next year's growth buds getting ready to open into 'candles'
Persistent juvenile foliage is indicative of both Pinus halapensis (Allepo pine) and Pinus pinea (Italian Stone Pine).
Any history of where it came from could shed light on which is more likely.

Yeah, looks like pinus pinea to me.
