    Not only is Grevillea a different species it is a different family Proteacea rather than Casuarinaceae it may even be farther away than that.
    So... are you saying I gotta buy newer books?

    And now that I've told the tree to stop pretending it's a Casuarina, that I now know it's really an Allocasuarina, do you think that freezing it will also now stop the seed pods from opening?
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.
