Where I live on the east coast there many Norfolk Pines all of a good size and by the look of it , planted maybe 50-60 years ago. Not natives, they were introduced around 1860. Burls seem to be rare on this species. Till today , not very big but the sure look burls to me.
Hopefully some of the Hawaiian turner will chime in here, as I recall theres heaps in Hawaii.
