| I don't think this is a fir or a spruce. J |

| Technically neither. We had one outside our department buildings in undergrad...b...b...can't remember name any more...surely Resin will pop by... Dan |

| Interesting... Needles look like a Fir but I have no idea. The fruit don't actually look like cones. If you don't get any hits, post in the conifers forum. |

| Might suggest Araucaria bidwillii. That's my first guess followed by A. angustifolia. |
RE: Is this fir or spruce?

| Cones aren't right for Araucaria. I'll send to the BH & see if she remembers - IIRC we had classes together near one. Dan |
RE: Is this fir or spruce?

| What about pollen cones of Araucaria bidwillii? Or other Araucaria. Cunninghamia also crossed my mind....just briefly. |

| Forgot to add, those are pollen cones, after pollen shedding. Resin |

| I knew if I tap-danced long enough... That's the one: found in the wild recently IIRC. Dan |

| Thank you everyone, especially Resin. I think GW tree forum is great! It gets things answered very fast! |

| I doubt it is in Florida. I know of none here that have survived more than a year or two due to extreme sensitivity to root rot. I have some grafted on Agathis now doing well though.. |

| It's someplace where they can grow maidenhair trees, apparently. You got permission to post this photo, of course. |
