Your photo resembles a Wollemi pine, but we think it might more likely to belong to the Araucaria genus because as you probably know, the Wollemi was just discovered in 1994 in the Blue Mountains in New South Wales in 1994. Cultivated plants became available to botanical gardens in 2006. However it would be very exciting to find out that it is a Wollemi pine. Suggest you contact WollemiPine.com – the official home of the Wollemi Pine …
www.wollemipine.com/ to see if they can confirm its identity for you. Here is some additional information for you: The Lost Valley of the Wollemi Pine – Scientific American
blogs.scientificamerican.com/…/the-lost-vall… If you do find out its identity, please let us know as this would be so exciting to know that a relatively mature Wollemi is growing in Nice!
We love the fact that a plant long thought to be extinct was discovered growing not to long a distance from Sydney, Australia.
