Beautifull forest.In my village theres only one about 3 meters tall.Theres lots of enthusiats that grow these trees but it seems its slightly more sensitive than our climate.
interesting to see so many Araucaria trees in one place. Here outside my flat actually is a big specimen, I think it's 150-200 years old, about 50 metres tall, but it stands alone, so doesn't produce fruit. I think one of the prime places is going to be UK or Ireland though, as the climate is probably more suitable here than most continental countries and plus there are numerous old specimens around. Not sure exactly where though.
A tree of this sp. in Bergen, Norway, have produces viable seeds. The tree was a male, but on rare occasians they can produce female cones even on male plants, meaning that it self-pollinated. Three seeds germinated from this plant, but plants died due to a harsh winter. October-nov should be a good time to check the trees out for seeds.
Araucaria grow very well in the PNW, all over you see people using them for landscaping. I'm considering trying out some A. angustifolia, supposedly they take much less time to bear cones (~10 years as opposed to over 20), are a bit more pendulous, and more rare and interesting than A. araucana. Unfortunately that is a huge investment of space since you need the male and female and they are very large trees, but perhaps some day. Araucariaceae might just have to be one of my favorite plant families, virtually unchanged for many tens of millions of years and having certain features that date back even further. Plus they are incredibly cool looking.
@@allthefruit Yeah, that's another concern. Basically the temperate equivalent to coconuts. But the very unique trees and huge harvest of massive nuts is tempting. The fact that it is dioecious is another negative though. So I'll probably wait on that one for another time...
In California both Monkey Puzzle and Bunya Bunya grow. I have never seen such a tree with cones.

Here they grow quite well and are popular in private gardens

Nice. Never seen such a big one
@@allthefruit I'd like to show a photo but I don't think it's possible on here

Thank you, this is amazing. So i was there at the right time but still no seeds

But you can not use the space underneath while they are fruiting since the cones will kill you

@@StuffandThings_ just becaus you mentioned space
do you consider them naturalised?
No, in Germany they are all planted
This is Chile?
No, this is Patrick. Actually its Germany
Araucaria araucana don't usally drop there cones,the cones just split and scales fly out
Yes but i could not find good single seeds either. Any idea why?
это какой-то гибрид араукарии , поэтому и нету семян
I think in Barcelona you may get Araucaria araucana nuts. Not sure but maybe Barcelona has Araucaria araucana which produce nuts.
Thank you, will look for them
