Full of fractal fan-like foliage this architectural Araucaria is also known as Star Pine and Triangle Tree and closely resembles a mini monkey-puzzle tree (also an Araucariaceae family relative). With its widely spaced branches and symmetrical, triangular outline, the Norfolk Island Pine is a great houseplant - not just for Christmas.

Description
Description
Araucaria heterophylla definitely looks like a pine tree at first glance but, is actually a tropical plant native to Norfolk Island, just off the east coast of Australia - hence its common name. Although it looks like a pine (making it a great addition to Scandi interior styles), it's a very different species of evergreen conifer that prefers warm temperatures, making it a great Christmas tree alternative that can stay inside year-round.
