Describe the Monkey Puzzle Tree.
The Monkey Puzzle Tree, or Araucaria araucana, is an evergreen conifer native to Chile and Argentina. The tree is long-lived, reaching heights of up to 150 feet. Its unique features include peculiar leaves, an outstanding trunk, and whorl-like branches.
The leaves are thick and stiff and cover the branches entirely. The seeds of the monkey puzzle tree are large, edible, and used as a staple food in some parts of South America.
Although it grows well in mild climates outside its native regions, the monkey puzzle tree is currently listed as an endangered species by the IUCN, primarily due to deforestation and logging. Its slow growth rate and long reproduction cycle further contribute to this predicament.
