Moreton Bay pine

An upright, frost-tender conifer eventually reaching heights in excess of 50m with rough, reddish-brown bark peeling in circular bands. Young leaves are awl-shaped, up to 2cm long and arranged in spirals whilst adult leaves become scale-like and incurved. Male cones are cylindrical and 2-3cm long and ovoid female cones, 8-10cm long, are borne on mature trees and disintegrate when mature to release nut-like seeds
