Monkey Puzzle Tree
Araucaria Araucana
This is a beautiful specimen plant for large gardens, parks or open spaces. It is a unique, evergreen coniferous tree with lustrous, bright green, pointed leaves which darken with age. The whorls of branches don’t tend to associate well with other hardy trees, so it’s best planted as a specimen or in a small group. It’s only really suitable for larger gardens, because once established it will grow to a height of 25 metres or more.

No pruning is required.
