The same Norfolk Island that's famous for the N.I.Pine? I have had them as house plants...would be great to see them in their natural place...

Lori,

Yes, it is the same Norfolk Island. Norfolk Island pines are so common here we don't even think of them. They can be very messy...the leaves are like long snakes that cover the sidewalk constantly. The reason I know this, is because I have an 80+ foot tree in my front yard. Yuck!!! LOL

I also have a Rhopalostylis baueri in my front yard.
