both this and a. heterophylla grown here in Hawaii. Very similar especially when young.

Neutral palmbob On Dec 25, 2003, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

This really really tall trees are about the only commonly grown Araucaria from New Caledonia (known for its variety of Araucarias). The branches of this tree are covered with leaves so densely packed that they look like small hanging cords. It's a good tree in warmer areas where a really tall and somewhat unusual conifer is needed.
