  Thank you Christine . They are big cones and when ripe the yellow tailed black cockatoos will sit high up in the tree extracting the seeds which they love. Just make sure not to be under the tree when they drop a cone accidentally. Posted 3 years ago

    I just read the cones can reach 12 cm in length! I didn't expect that! Wow. Lucky birds who eat the seeds! Posted 3 years ago

The Wollemia

"Wollemia" is a genus of coniferous trees in the family Araucariaceae. It was known only through fossil records until 1994, when the Australian species "Wollemia nobilis" was discovered in a temperate rainforest wilderness area of the Wollemi National Park in New South Wales.
