Scientific name: Araucaria araucana

Family: Araucariaceae (Araucarias)

Evergreen tree up to 50m tall. Bark resinous and generally branching in fives. Leaves spiky, stiff, leathery and rounded-triangle-shaped, arranged spirally around trunk and branches. Seeds dispersed by jays and squirrels. Pollinated by wind.

In Chile the tree is called the Pehuén and is sacred to the local Pehuenche people: its seeds are an ancient staple of their diet.

The tree was alive 200 million years ago and rubbed shoulders with the dinosaurs. Its spine-like needles acted as protection from ancient grazing animals now long extinct.

Will tolerate almost any soil type providing it drains well.
