Name: Monkey Puzzle Tree

Scientific: Araucaria araucana

A.K.A.: Chilean Pine, Monkey Tail Tree, Pewen, Pehuen Pine, Piñonero

This Variation: This is a High Poly model. A Low Poly version is also available.

Notes: An evergreen tree belonging to the family Araucariaceae. It is native to central and southern Chile and western Argentina. It is the hardiest species in the conifer genus Araucaria. Because of the prevalence of similar species in ancient prehistory, it is sometimes called a living fossil. It is also the official tree of Chile and of the neighbouring Argentine province of Neuquén. The IUCN changed its conservation status to Endangered in 2013 as logging, forest fires, and grazing caused its population to dwindle. The tree's native habitat is the lower slopes of the Chilean and Argentine south-central Andes, approximately between 1,000m and 1,700m. Juvenile trees exhibit a broadly pyramidal or conical habit which naturally develops into the distinctive umbrella form of mature specimens as the tree ages.
