We used these in my elementary, middle, and high schools, and I went to HS in the mid 2010’s! And we did still do drills with them.

Yes! The other comments are incorrect. This is a condition known as reversion. These trees are actually a mutation of a typical conifer, known aptly as a “dwarf conifer”. Mutations are oftentimes unstable, and can revert back to their original form - that’s what has happened to this tree. One of the branches (or multiple, potentially) have reverted and it’s actually growing a normal-size conifer on those branches now. Kinda neat! But can also be very bad for the tree.

Similar things can happen with variegation in leaves (reversion, that is).

That’s exciting! Crazy to see how something can not be seen for a hundred years, but still be found again.
