I just moved. I have 2 ten foot shrubs out front. The top 2 feet of 1 is growing much different than the rest of the plant or the other one. They are the same height. The top is also sprouting cones. The rest of the plant isn’t and neither is the other I would love for them to be symmetrical. Any suggestions?

That’s a dwarf spruce with a genetic reversion, meaning the non dwarf variety is growing from a branch.
You can cut the branch or branches off that are effected, but it may leave a hole that may or may not fill back in over time.
That’s the entire top. Does that mean I have to cut the top off? The top 2 1/2 feet?
Looks like a healthy relationship to me! Just leave it
Landscaping and plants should never be touching your house. In my opinion, it’s way too close and the part that’s growing out of the top looks really bad. I would just at least put that off.
I would give it a shave.
