Can you identify this plant?
I was given this plant to put in my yard but I don't know what it is. The folks who gave it to me (my folks) didn't know what it was either. All my Dad could say was that it's an evergreen. I want to make sure I plant it correctly and in the right kind of sunlight. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...9-18-05013.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...9-18-05012.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...9-18-05011.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...9-18-05010.jpg Thanks in advance, Dulcey don't mind the messy garage...too many projects, so little time -- Remember all you love On Earth and not on Earth Be the same even with those you love Angels and angels waiting to be ~~~~~*))))){~~~~~~~~~~*))))){~~~~~~~~ ~~~*))))){~~~~~~~~~*))))){~~~~~~~~*))))){ ~~~~ |

It would be useful to know where you live, it won't survive outside in a cold climate. Paulo |

Norfolk pines are great indoor plants if you have the room for them.
They are fairly slow growers but don't demand much. A little filtered sunlight and occasional water and our do just fine. But they are essentially tropicals so they only work outside if you are way south. |

They are also poisenous so whatever you do, don't touch them.

(About Norfolk Island pines)

They are just a regular conifer (and in the same genus as edible nut producing species). A quick search online turns up Norfolk Island Pine in a list of *non*-toxic plants: http://www.rosefloral.com/poison.htm Paulo |

Absolute nonsense, KKK.

Thank you everyone for the information. I searched and searched under evergreens to find out the name of this tree. It was an arrangement from my Grandmother's funeral so I wanted to make sure I didn't kill it. If I would have planted it, it would have been dead within a month.
