Monkey Puzzle Tree

Araucaria araucana

The Monkey Puzzle tree can grow to a height of 40 metres but being slow growing is often seen in smaller gardens so care should be taken in positioning this wonderful tree.

Unique foliage and one of the hardiest of the conifer family, originally found on the lower slopes of the Chilean Andes.

Monkey Puzzle seeds are edible but a male and female tree are necessary for seed production. It can take 20 years to become productive. A unique, spectacular specimen tree which is well worth planting if you have the space.
