Araucaria araucana -<br />

Monkey Puzzle<br />

Whorled branches radiate out from a strong central stem and are<br />

densely set with dark green pointed evergreen foliage. Easily<br />

grown and a good focal point in a garden. Slowly to a great<br />

height.<br />

Arbutus 'Marina' (Probably a hybrid between A. x andrachnoides and A.<br />

canariensis). Large panicles of rose pink flowers, beautiful<br />

peeling bark similar to the Madrona, robust and easily grown.<br />

Smooth, satiny, cinnamon coloured bark, peeling off in rough<br />

strips to reveal the smooth pale green under-bark, most<br />

resembling the Madrona. It may be grown as a multi-stemmed<br />

specimen or trained on a single stem. Foliage is leathery dark<br />

green, similar to Arbutus unedo but larger and unfurling with a<br />

distinct orange-red blush.<br />

The flower clusters are in drooping racemes up to 6 inches long.<br />

Each raceme may contain 100 individual rose-red flowers. A tree<br />

in full bloom during autumn and winter is a stunning sight.<br />

Bright red strawberry fruits are about 1 inch in diameter.<br />

Arbutus 'Marina' is easily grown and fairly easy to establish. It is<br />

necessary to ensure that the planting site is adequately drained, it<br />

will tolerate some lime. Flowers will be produced most<br />

prolifically in full sun. Plants have withstood temperatures down<br />

to -15°C.<br />
