Monkey Puzzle Tree (Araucaria araucana)

Monkey Puzzle Tree is a bold evergreen conifer that turns a landscape into a statement with its dramatic, geometric branching and year-round structure. The stiff, armored foliage creates an unmistakable silhouette that feels sculptural even from a distance. It is best for gardeners who want a true specimen tree and have the space to let it mature without crowding. When sited well, it becomes a long-term anchor that makes surrounding plantings look more intentional.

Distinctive Features

This evergreen tree is known for thick, sharply pointed, overlapping leaves that cover the branches and create a rugged, architectural texture. Young trees are typically pyramidal, then broaden with age into a strong, layered form with widely spaced, horizontal limbs. Plants are usually dioecious, meaning male and female cones are typically on separate trees, and large seed cones on female trees can be heavy when mature. It performs best in climates with mild summers, and it appreciates steady moisture while establishing even though it can handle some dryness later.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Full sun to partial shade, with best density in full sun.
  • Soil: Well-drained soil, slightly acidic to neutral, and avoid sites that stay wet.
  • Water: Medium, water regularly during establishment, then provide occasional deep watering during extended drought.
  • USDA Zones: 7 to 10.
  • Mature Size: About 40 to 70 feet tall and 20 to 30 feet wide.
  • Habit: Upright and pyramidal when young, maturing to a broader, layered evergreen form.
  • Foliage: Dark green, stiff, sharply pointed leaves that persist for years on the branches.
  • Flowers: Inconspicuous.
  • Cones: Large cones, with heavy seed cones possible on female trees.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Plant as a specimen where the distinctive form can anchor a main view and define the character of the landscape year-round.
  • Large-Lot Structure: Use as a permanent evergreen backbone tree in spacious landscapes with room to mature.
  • Evergreen Contrast: Pair with softer conifers and broadleaf evergreens to highlight its unique texture.
  • Coastal and Mild-Climate Gardens: Fit into regions with mild summers where it can grow steadily and hold its best form.
  • Collector Plantings: Add to conifer collections for a one-of-a-kind silhouette that stands apart from typical evergreens.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Pruning: Prune minimally, removing only dead or damaged branches, since natural form is a major feature.
  • Watering: Water deeply during the first one to two growing seasons and during prolonged dry periods thereafter.
  • Mulching: Mulch over the root zone to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperatures, keeping mulch off the trunk.
  • Placement: Site away from tight walkways and play areas, and allow room for mature spread and surface roots.
  • Safety: Consider cone drop on mature trees and avoid siting female trees over high-traffic areas where heavy cones could be a nuisance.

Why Choose Monkey Puzzle Tree?

  • Unmistakable Form: Architectural branching and armored foliage create a true landmark tree.
  • Evergreen Presence: Holds structure and color year-round for dependable landscape backbone.
  • Low Pruning Needs: Naturally strong shape reduces the need for regular trimming.
  • Deer Resistance: Often browsed less than many evergreens because of the stiff, spiny foliage.
  • Long-Term Value: A slow-growing investment plant that becomes more striking as it matures.

If you have the right space and climate, Monkey Puzzle Tree is one of the most distinctive evergreens you can plant. Give it well-drained soil, consistent moisture while it establishes, and a site where its mature size is welcome, and it will develop into a permanent focal tree that stands out in every season.

Way too narrow
Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
I ordered a wide in this shoe, but it was still way too narrow. I had to return them. Otherwise, it looked like a nice quality shoe.

I usually wear 11.5's, but I buy 1/2 size smaller to accommodate for stretch. Leather relaxes.
Size: 11, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
5 STARS: These shoes are awesome. I keep coming back for more. I have major foot problems, have tried all kinds of shoes, orthotics, and inserts... but believe it or not, these shoes work better than any of that stuff. I wear them daily. I buy lots of them, for home, for church, and I'm getting my first pair of J&M boots today, for winters in Indiana... Brrrr

Sleek, upscale and supremely comfortable
Size: 9, Color: Cognac
I did not know that Marc Joseph makes hands free slip ins. I own four pair of Skechers, and I thought they were the only game in town. I decided that I wanted a pair of business casual pair of wingtips. I already own two pair of Skechers Mark Nason wingtips in blue and black nubuck, so I bought a pair of their cognac colored. Perfectly fine shoes, but when they arrived, I didn't like the color, so the search was on! I found these cognac-colored Mark Joseph's and hands down, they fit the bill for what I was looking for! I actually bought two more pair of Skechers in the brown family in the same oxford, elastic lace style: One pair of another style of their Mark Nason line and one pair of their Garza line. So now I am comparing three pair of Skechers to the Marc Joseph's. Obsessive, I know :). Luckily, I have a Skechers store near me for easy returns. The look I was going for is a sleek, business casual that I could dress up or down. Three things that I love about the Marc Joseph's are the beautiful cognac finish: the white yet lower profile soles and the more formal, narrower toe style. The MJ's nailed it with the color. They have a slightly darker, more lustrous and glossier look than the others. The color alone looks classier and pairs well with black pants which I wear for work almost every day. The white soles are exactly what I was looking for. The visible rise is probably about a third of the thickness of the others and are a much more subtle, classier look. They offset the cognac color nicely but are not that in your face, sneaker looking, thick white sole. When I was comparing them to the others right out of the box, I thought they would be too narrow and tight because they looked sleeker and narrower than the others. But they fit perfectly and were very comfortable right out of the box. Upon closer inspection and comparison, I realized the narrower, sleeker look is because the eyelets for the elastic shoelaces are closer together that give the illusion that the shoe is narrower. They compensate for what might create a tighter fit across the top of your foot with two stretchy "gores" they are called on either side of the upper part. The "slits" are nicely finished, and you can't see the stretchy part and add a nice design touch to the shoe. But between them and the elastic shoelaces, they must stretch just enough to make them extremely comfortable across the top. So, if you have a high instep/arch, they should accommodate it nicely. Last but not least, they are very comfortable shoes. I wear a size 8 1/2 to 9 and my foot is slightly on the wide side. I bought the size 9's and they fit perfectly. If you are between sizes or have wider feet, you may want to size up a half size. Because the Skechers have much thicker soles, they might be slightly more cushioned, but the MJ's are cushioned more than enough for my purposes and very comfortable. Plus, they actually just feel better on my feet. I can't speak to how durable they will be as I just got them, but so far, so good. So, there you have it. I rely on other people's reviews a lot when buying online, and especially for shoes. I know it's always a crap shoot, particularly when buying shoes online, so I hope this review helps. Everybody's feet are different, but I highly recommend these.
