Monkey Puzzle Tree, Monkeypuzzle Tree

Origin to be documented

Araucaria araucana, commonly called the pewen, monkey-puzzle tree, pehuen or piñonero or Chile pine, is a species of conifer in the family Araucariaceae. It is a tree that grows to a height of 30–40 m (98–131 ft) and a trunk diameter of 1–1.5 m (3.3–4.9 ft). Native to central and southern Chile and western Argentina, it is the hardiest species in the conifer genus Araucaria. It is the national tree of Chile and of the neighboring Argentine province of Neuquén. The IUCN changed its conservation status to Endangered in 2013, because logging, forest fires, and grazing have caused its population to dwindle.
