Monkey Puzzle

[Mark Bolam]

I've dismantled them, and would again, but I never left the stem.

Chip volume and weight of timber is monstrous.

Groundies need lots of beer afterwards.

Reduction? Life's too short.

Extremely heavy. Extremely Spikey. Extremely sticky (sap looks like pva). Horrible to climb. Horrible to chip. Horrible for fire wood. Lovely tree left standing to look at

Seeds are edible aren't they? Thought that was how they were introduced, someone took it off their plate and planted it.

I don't know about edible but they are as sharp as every other part. I wouldn't care to eat one, nor for the "next phase".

 

I took some to a flower shop once for a bit of window display, looked well but apparently they rotted.

The seeds are edible, aperrently tasting very similar to almonds. Never tried them myself but was on a program a few years back where they got a cherry picker in to get a load of them. Not worth the hassle to sell them commercially though.
