Monkey Puzzle - Araucaria araucana

The Victorian's favourite garden tree, the Monkey Puzzle is wonderfully strange and packed full of character.

Monkey Puzzles likes plenty of sun and well drained soil. Can be planted in most soil types and grows well in the UK.

The Monkey Puzzle was so named because even a Monkey would have difficulty climbing through the spiky branches. The latin name, Araucaria araucana, is named after a Native American tribal Chief who impressed the first European seed collectors.

The current height of this tree is approximately 15-30cm and can be planted out all the year round.
