Pittosporum Revolutum seed pod - Alissa Duke

This seedpod is from a plant from the local Landcare site (a group of local volunteers meet once a week to clear an area of land (next to a railway track) to clear the weeds, mulch the ground and replant with indigenous species. We planted this Pittosporum revolutum along with many other plants about three years ago. It is now almost as tall as me. Perhaps these seeds attract the birds, but they certainly look dangerous to me.
