Araucaria araucana

Araucaria araucana, also known as the monkey puzzle tree or Chilean pine, is a distinctive evergreen conifer native to the Andes mountains of South America. Its striking appearance features dense, upward-sweeping branches covered in sharp, overlapping leaves, making it an iconic and easily recognizable tree. The Araucaria araucana can live for centuries and is valued for its ornamental beauty in landscapes and gardens. It produces large, edible seeds known as piñones, which have been an important food source for indigenous peoples for generations. This ancient tree species is often considered a living fossil, dating back to the time of the dinosaurs.
