Araucaria .... Monkey Puzzle ..

We went for a walk this morning,and saw one of these high up in the hills,in someones garden,and it had the biggest seed heads,or at least I think that's what they were..about the size of a Galia melon? ..and I forgot to take a photo! duh..I bet I'm going to feel daft now,if they were something else..no change there then ! Lol.x

Is it very tall ? There was one in the garden next door to my aunt's house, when I was little, and it was as tall as the house ... and it was a 3 storey building.

It was very tall,Hywel..I've seen lots of these trees,but never with anything like those on the branches..

I took this photo because our tree is so tall I couldn't make out what they were I thought it was new growth but they look to be more like cones , I remember seeing a program where they climbed a tree to pick the nuts I was hoping these were nuts but they don't appear to be :o( don't forget to take a photo next time Sandra !

I could kick myself for not taking a photo,Amy..and It could be a while before we go up that way again..Dozy me! Lol..sending you a PM..having problems with my emails..x

Like Hywel, I remember a huge one being in a tiny front garden when I was younger and was always fascinated by it. Yours looks very healthy.
