ISLAND CABIN

I think I found it. This morning I remembered my parents used to call it the Monkey Tree, which I thought was like a pet name but there is actually a tree called Monkey Tree, or Monkey Puzzle Tree, from Chile. That's not exactly right, but it led me to a related tree called Bunya Bunya from Queensland, Australia. Our seed pods never split open, maybe because they landed on grass lawn, so we never tried eating the seeds.
