• Pineapple Pine Tree?
What is this Pine Tree called? I do not really know, but I think it should be called the Pineapple Pine Tree. This really neat pine tree is located on the grounds of our church, Whittier Area Community Church. These brown seed cones look like miniature pineapples sitting upright on the limbs, and that green topnot is “way too kool.” We have several of these trees on the grounds, they are fascinating. I have observed many people stop and comment on this unusual specimen of evergreen. I did a search to find out what these trees are called, but finally, after not finding it, I concluded that it was… a waste of time. I have no clue. Maybe, someone who reads this will know exactly, meanwhile, I will ask more around church. See, I created my own puzzle.
Surely, someone will know. I thought these trees looked really healthy and attractive, so I wanted to show them off to the world. Maybe there are some “tree lovers” out there! Ha! LOL

Well, I continued to ask around and I found it. It is called the Canary Island Pine – Pinus Canariensis. They are plentiful in Southern California. The mystery has been solved. Barney
