The Monkey Puzzle is a throwback to the land of the dinosaurs.

Today it originates from South America. It was very popular in the 1800s as an exotic tree and there are many fine mature examples in estates and gardens.

Due to its hard edged leaves it was commented that it would puzzle a monkey how to climb it.

It is a relatively slow growing tree but makes for a very decorative feature.

The plant will be bare rooted to keep the postage costs low.
