Norfolk Pine

This place is just so much like home - this is a slice of north Queensland and its environment. The Norfolk Pine is spectacular when fully grown!

We generally have them in pots as house plants here. I liked this big one.

Like I always say - they are very beautiful in someone else's yard. I have a
75+ foot/ 25 meter tall tree in my front yard and it is very messy. They also have very large round cones. They also pop up around the yard and I dig them out and give them away or sell them...it's surprising anyone would buy such a common tree here.

They are sold a lot here at Christmas time as an alternative to a regular Christmas tree, something that is actually alive and can be kept after the decorations come off.
