Greek pine tree identification

rogerd445 · 26th August 2009, 05:07 AM

I would like help identifying a tree that I saw on the Greek island of Mykonos. Attached is a picture of the tree

norfolk island pine

Araucaria heterophylla

Most of the pictures I found when I "Googled" the name you listed didin't resemble this pine - they had drooping branches and were much fuller. The only image I found that looked like a possible match was at PLANTS Profile for Araucaria heterophylla (Norfolk Island pine) | USDA PLANTS
Are there differing sub-varieties?

Kiwi is right except he forgot the words "star pine".

We got them all, Bunya-Bunya, Norfolk, Monkey puzzle. Other than the Norfork, they get big heavy cones and know to break out limbs.

just in its juvinile stage, they change form when they are very mature.
