[QUOTE="imagineero, post: 4919494, member: 49960"] I've never seen a D fir, we get some of the species you guys have planted as exotics but D firs just don't seem to get planted or at least I've never seen one. We have our own native pines some of which are a bit crazy. The bunya bunya tree grows well over 100' and the cones can be as much as 35lbs, though typically they're closer to 15. I've seen some near/over houses but mainly up north. A cone that size form that height is going through your roof no question. The seed from the cones is harvested commercially and is delicious pan fried with a bit of olive oil and garlic. I always get the willies climbing them, keep thinking a cone is gonna shake loose. Hard hat isn't going to do you much good. [ATTACH=full]363888[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]363889[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
