Pine tree with huge cones
Hi
Is anyone familiar with enormous pines trees , that produce huge cones that sit on top of the branch (rather than dangling from ), and look like bee hives. The tree in question produces red berries in winter. Can't find it in any of the books I have purchased. I will post picture if no-one has any ideas. Thanks |

Thanks The various species of Araucaria (e.g., Norfolk Island pine) have cones that weigh 10-15 pounds each. These can suddenly fall without warning. According to Sunset, "they are not trees to sit under." However, a coniferous tree that produces cones does not produce berries. The southern magnolia (M. grandiflora) produces cone-like seedpods. When they dry and split open, there are red berry-like seeds. -- David E. Ross http://www.rossde.com/ Concerned about someone (e.g., Pres. Bush) snooping into your E-mail? Use PGP.
