Norfolk Island Pine (not really a pine, apparently) is a very unusual tree ! Threatened in its original, miniscule habitat, it has been transplanted around the world, and even grown indoors (Martha Stewart has posted on this).
Foliage from a tree in Cornwall Park, Auckland, New Zealand, showing the variations in foliage from different parts of the crown; thus the epithet, heterophylla [C.J. Earle, 2003.03.12].
The male catkins are not that impressive, but the female cone is quite a sight !
