| == Podocarps == | | == Podocarps == |
− | Podocarps are conifers in the family [[Podocarpaceae]]. The seed [[conifer cone|cones]] are highly modified and, in some, the seed is surrounded by fleshy scale tissue, resembling a drupe. These berry-like cone scales are eaten by birds which then disperse the seeds in their droppings and the cones can be eaten in many species. Podocarps are either half-hardy or frost tender, depending on species. Many genera are similar in that they have edible "fruits" and often don't have a common name. | + | Podocarps are [[conifers]] in the family [[Podocarpaceae]].
