Monkey Puzzle Trees

Araucaria araucana

The monkey puzzle tree – Araucaria araucana is an ancient, evergreen living fossil adorned with rigid, scale-like leaves radiating densely along branches. This peculiar, primitively-coned specimen tree originated in Chile and truly lives up to its whimsical name.

  • Unique, prickly spiral branch patterns create a spiky silhouette.
  • Hardy evergreen with scaly leaves in concentric whorls along branches.
  • Massive seeds grow inside large cones weighing over 10 lbs.
  • Odd-looking but immensely hardy specimen for spacious landscapes.

Plant monkey puzzles in full sun and well-draining soil. Extremely drought tolerant once established. Space at least 25 feet away from structures due to large size. Apply mulch and avoid pruning.
