Imagine a pinecone as heavy as a bowling ball and the size of a chihuahua. Believe it or not, such pinecones exist—and they belong to the coulter pine (Pinus coulteri), a conifer that can be found in parts of North America including California and Mexico. Infamous among loggers and foresters, this tree is nicknamed "the widowmaker" because of the unlucky individuals who met their fate as a result of its falling pinecones. This species produces some of the largest pinecones on the planet, weighing up to 11 lbs (5 kg).

The slow-growing evergreen tree Pinus sylvestris (Aurea Group) 'Aurea' (golden Scots pine) makes a focal point in the rock garden of Edinburgh Botanic Garden. The blue-green needles turn lemon green from late autumn to spring.
