Araucaria araucana
Monkey Puzzle Tree
Common Name: Monkey Puzzle TreeLatin Name: Araucaria araucanaSoil: Fertile, well drained. Prefers loamy soil. Position: Full sunHardiness: Fully hardyFlowering period: Females: Autumn. Flowering type: Females: Frown cones/ Males: FlowersEventual height/spread after 20 years: 6m/3mThe Araucaria araucana, which is commonly known as the 'Monkey Puzzle Tree', is a majestic evergreen tree. The long branches are covered in prickly, glossy leaves, which hold all year round. This tree is a fantastic specimen tree for larger gardens as it will add an injection of lush green colour all year round. The 'Monkey Puzzle' is a dioecious tree and so the males produce oval-shaped flowers and the females produce spherical cones. Interestingly, the unusual common name was coined in the 19th century after a man suggested that the distinctive branches would even puzzle a monkey to climb! Although this is a slow-growing tree, it can become quite large; please bear this in mind when planting. This araucaria does not benefit from regular pruning. Trustpilot

Pinus sylvestris
Scots Pine
Common Name: Scots PineLatin Name: Pinus sylvestrisSoil: Chalky, Clay, Loamy, Sandy (will tolerate most soil types)Position: Full sunHardiness: HardyEventual height/spread: Up to 25m/8mSpecial features: Pine needles that grow in pairs and hold a blue-green colour all year round.Pinus sylvestris is a native to Scotland and it is therefore the only pine native to Britain; it is a slow-growing evergreen conifer that is widely planted as a parkland tree. The Scots Pine features glaucous blue-green needles that are borne in pairs and curl slightly at their tips. As this conifer slowly grows into a tall tree, its main trunk becomes deeply fissured and holds an unusual orange-red colour. In autumn, further interest is added when little green pine cones appear, and these gradually grow over two years and become brown after several months. Eventually, this tree will become very tall and it will have a long clear stem with the main branches starting from the top third of the tree. This is a great choice for parkland planting or for a large woodland type garden. Make sure that you give this mighty tree the space it needs to thrive and grow.
