The Araucaria heterophylla or Araucaria excelsa originates from Norfolk Island. For this reason, it is also known as the Norfolk Pine.
The Norfolk Island pine (Araucaria heterophylla) is native to Norfolk Island. It is a conifer with branches arranged in regular, horizontal whorls, covered in small, needle-like, deep green leaves. It has a highly symmetrical, slender, pyramidal crown, the shape of which varies due to wind and sudden temperature changes.
Young specimens are often used as houseplants, where they thrive. They are also commonly used as Christmas trees.
Physiological and cultivation characteristics:
A majestic conifer, unmistakable for its umbel-shaped crown, a symbol of Mediterranean flora. It arrived on our peninsula from Crete and Asia Minor. It has a straight, cylindrical trunk, whose bark has wide plates of reddish-brown and gray colors, and is longitudinally furrowed.
Evergreen groundcover shrub; flexible, drooping branches. Leaves like R. officinalis, blue-violet flowers from March to May.
The olive tree originated in the Mediterranean basin. It is an evergreen tree, among the longest-lived in existence (2000 years), which very slowly reaches 9 meters in height and 5-7 meters in width, and more if it finds the space.
