We had one about 10m from the house which was about 40/45ft tall, My cousin told me you can roast the nuts and eat them, I wouldn't know for sure I never tried it.
Can you ID is tree please ?

Apparently you certainly can eat the seeds, they are meant to taste like chestnuts, roasted or boiled.
They can be dried and ground into flour too.
Something I would like to try.

I may have some nuts you can have.Greenhornet_au said:Smoky bandit said:
After the ID, I did some reading and I reckon you are about right, its just a puppy and about 10m tall, it just stood out amongst the Norfolks
so I am wondering why it is there.
More research on that one, I didnt see any 'nuts' and would love to get hold of one with seeds.
This tree is down south of Adelaide, so it is exposed to a lot of wind and can get quite cold, but they are meant to be down in Tas and doing ok there.
Maybe they are tougher after a certain age.
Also this one is near what I think is a 'recognised' Aboriginal burial site.
Any one go some nuts I can have ?
(yes , I left myself open right there
I'll look tomorrow arvo and see if there's any.
They only produce the nuts every so often.Sometimes it can be years before it drops it's nuts

Lame joke...
I didnt know if it was from oversea's somewhere, which may have added to some other research, the fact it comes from NSW and QLD
is interesting.
Even we come from a 'seed'.
We have a Bunya tree in our backyard and it has only dropped cones the last 2 years. With a bit of research that tells me it must be around 20 to 30 years old.
January and February are the times not to be hanging around under the tree and when these things fall they hit the ground with an almighty thud!!
They are an amazing tree but I really wouldnt want one of these to drop on me from a great height :argh: :fistpump: :skull:

Bugger getting hit in the head with that thing.

This is the Bunya pine at Yacka in the mid north of SA. We had the hotel there From 84 to 94 it was I think planted for the states 150 in 86. the tree was one of three germinated by the late Joe Spackman, a prolific tree grower and planter. the other 2 were given to Gulnare and Georgetown but I'm pretty sure the Yacka tree is the only survivor the other 2 succumbing to frost while still very young. It is located in the park, on the right leaving town heading north. I took the photo in late Aug this year1st time I've been back there for a very long time
