Araucaria araucana
Araucaria araucana (the “monkey puzzle tree”) is an evergreen conifer with an instantly recognizable style: an upright trunk and tiered branches, covered with stiff, triangular leaves. Highly decorative as a standalone specimen, it provides a strong year-round presence and, over time, becomes a true landscape tree. It is best suited to gardens with enough space and well-drained soil, in climates that are not too dry in summer.
