Well, I don't know what is on your state list, but one of the most helpful things for the actual pines is to find the number of needles per bundle. Find that out, and the typical length, and write them right on your tree list. This cuts the options for any sample in about a third. From there, it is a matter of distinguishing between them.
The spruces have single needles that poke out all over the place. Hemlocks have flat, single needles that shed easily. The Eastern Hemlock specifically has two blueish lines on the needles' undersides. The Eastern Red Cedar is fluffy, with blueish berries, while the Northern White Cedar is flatter, with cones.
That is the rough, immediate guide to pines and coniferous trees.
If I knew more specifically what pines you are having trouble with, then that would help.

Does anybody have any tips for the spruces on the National List? Also the pines as well would be great.

Does anyone have any tests that are oriented towards the western tree ID and if so could you send them to me?
