Description

Large numbers growing in the mulch . duff under a large pine tree. There were other exotic trees about which had forced the pine tree to grow up, so it wasn't obvious what type of pine tree it was.

Many had been overturned by I assume birds looking for insects in the mulch

Given was a war memorial park, would place the age of the pine to be ww2 or possibly ww1
