We saw this pine tree with nice foliage and lovely cones alongside the Commissioners Track that we walked yesterday at Roxburgh East, Central Otago. There’s a few different conifer species that’ve been planted in the vicinity and it was interesting to see them; there were more conifer species at the top-end of the track as well. If you know the species for this please let me know! I’ve asked on twitter but no answers as yet. New Zealand.

Sorry, I can’t help with the species but I do like that cone, standing upright at looking like a flower with the open scales.
