The Botanical Gardens in Brisbane has a tree growing that was planted in 1868, who planted it, where did it come from & what type of tree is it ?

[Greynomad]

Ummm...
I guess it’s a BIG one!

[Shirley]

Huge, over 45 metres high.

No one interested in trivia, I think.
Planted in 1868 by Queen Victoria's son Prince Albert, the Duke of Edinburgh is the Cook Pine (Aravcaria columnaris) native to New Caledonia, the tree is an outstanding example of its species due to its age & size, 45 metres, more info re same if you're interested in reading about Brisbane's historic botanic gardens.

Shirley, I thought that I had replied to your question last night, but maybe I missed the submit after the preview.

Shirley,
Wanna post another question?

ps. Have you read my Pm?

[Macca]

I gave up ages ago with the Aussie Trivia as nobody was interested apart from about half a dozen of us- maybe.

[Shirley]

Ray, I didn't receive a pm from you.

David that happens to me too, send a post & it disappears.

Agree Kay not much interest in the Trivia.

I've been busy with the g'sons taking to & picking up from school, Dr, dental & optometrist appointments, no time this past week.
