Better known by its common name, the monkey puzzle tree is a common sight in gardens across Ireland. Fossils from the Jurassic period show that plants very similar to the monkey puzzle tree have been growing for around 200 million years along with the tree ferns! The monkey puzzle is an evergreen, pyramid-shaped tree that can reach up to 50m tall with a trunk circumference of 2.5m, however this will take hundreds of years. The bark is gray-brown, smooth, and sticky with resin. Monkey puzzle leaves are thick, stiff, dark-green triangles and 3 to 4cm long. The leaves are spirally arranged around the branches and can last for up to 15 years. Monkey puzzle trees are dioecious, meaning male and female cones grow on different trees. Definitely a tree for the larger garden.
