Araucaria araucana Monkey Puzzle Tree ConiferAraucaria araucana Monkey Puzzle Tree Zones 7 10 I love this conifer. It always intrigues me whether it is a young plant, or a mature specimen. Like ginkgo, Araucaria are often called living fossils. They do look like something from the dinosaur age. Araucaria araucana, commonly known as the Monkey Puzzle tree, is a unique conifer from Chile and Argentina. Rumor is that a monkey will look at this unusual evergreen and will be puzzled on how to climb

'Groundcover' may reach 1-2 ft in height by 3-4 ft in width

The upright conical habit is quite appealing with the soft blue foliage
