 o Pinhao..Pinheiro by pepples46
a very old speciment of Tree, Pine tree actually. 19 species are known today, many of them to be found in the southern hemisphere and Brazil has it fair share. a beautiful tree, I love it, ancient actually..growing when dinos roamed the earth. the Pinhao grows tall, very tall..gives a lot of shade and great cones, wonderful to burn giving warmth and that scent......and the crackling in open fires.
the Tree is a very though nut, it grows even at an altitude of around 920m above sea level. have a look at the next tip......Canela in Rio Grande do Sul standing 870m above sea level Leave a Comment

 from a Postcard/Gralha Azul,
clever bird by pepples46
many people believe, Gralha Azul picks the seed out of the pine- cones and planting them, the bird pouches the seed in his/her grob and plants it for a time of need in a manner humans could be proud of, just the right depth and neatly covered, when the time is right and the old Gralha has forgotten...the seeds start to sprout.and a new Pines Brasilensis... Pinhao or Pinheiro=Auracaria angustifiola is born.
there is more in the next chapter
the Gralha Azul is on the list of endagered spezies. Leave a Comment

 Unique, Unmistakable shape of
Parana "Pine" by glabah
As the tree gets older, the lower branches drop off so that the tree does not carry any unnecessary dead wood. The top branches fan out to grab what light they can. Thus, the tree develops this unique shape.
