4 – 4 – Podocarps :<br />
Podocarps are conifers in the family Podocarpaceae. The seed<br />
cones are highly modified and, in some, the seed is surrounded by<br />
fleshy scale tissue, resembling a drupe. These berry-like cone scales<br />
are eaten by birds which then disperse the seeds in their droppings<br />
and the cones can be eaten in many species. Podocarps are either halfhardy<br />
or frost tender, depending on species. Many genera are similar<br />
in that they have edible "fruits" and often don't have a common name.<br />
