Do you know what type of tree this is? (very strange tree)?

Question

This tree was in Southern BC. It had green branches that were thick and cylindrical.They were bent in curved shapes and were round at the ends. There were no leaves but there were scale-like things on them (kind of like a pine cone). At the top of the tree there were large round things. I have never seen anything like this before.

Answer 1

It`s hard to find out without a pic.

Might be it`s an Araucaria:
