Plant of the Day
Sunday 15 March 2026
Fossils from the Jurassic period show that trees very similar to Araucaria araucana (monkey puzzle, Chile pine, money puzzle tree) have been growing for around 200 million years. These plants are part of Edinburgh Botanic Garden, Scotland, conservation work as despite surviving for so long, this species is now endangered in its native habitat across South America.
