They are in fact quite ancient, and were similar to the species that is Petrified" in the Arizona Desert. The cones are quite large (up to 30 pounds in extreme cases), so save that shady seat under the tree for Door-to-door missionary types or Mimes. You can see a few examples of these in older neighborhoods in Santa Ana, Orange, and Anahiem. I think there is a place in OC called Silver Creek Nursery that has a f---ing incredible array of things which appear to be Tropical, but will live in your area...give them a peroozle. Cheers!
