Hello, Donna - I believe what you have there is a member of the juniper family, an eastern red cedar tree. It is native to Michigan. The berries are attractive to birds in winter. A mature tree can reach 40 feet tall. Here is a link that includes some general information. https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/juniperus-virginiana/
I hope this helps!
