Monkey Puzzle Tree…

Large evergreen tree with spidery branches from South America, potentially one of the best nut-producing trees in oceanic climates. Eventually reaches 30m high, but slow growing, (2m in 10 years) and doesn't fruit for 20 years (so plant some for your descendants!) The large seeds, produced in huge cones, are edible with a chestnut flavour. Timber is used for construction, furniture, masts etc.

Dioecious (need male & female trees for nuts), so best to plant a few trees to ensure you get both sexes.
