Some sort of pine

Post by melbrackstone »

Hi all, I picked up a pine cone in the Rhododendron Gardens in Northern Tasmania a few years ago, and managed to get three viable seeds. Only one has survived, but it seems to be happy, at least at the moment.

Anyone have a clue what it might be?

Hi Mel,
Are the needles all pairs or are there some of three or more? That might help with I.D.
Cheers, Frank.

it's a two needle. I put a shot up of one of the clumps, they're all like that. Thanks Frank and Grant, much appreciated!
