Araucaria araucana seed can be obtained from mature trees in New Zealand.
A standard New Zealand matchbox is used to show a scale of size.
Fresh seed germinates fairly quickly.
Araucaria araucana (Monkey Puzzle) set in seed trays after first stage of germination.
Seedlings of Araucaria araucana are grown in individual pots to minimise transplant shock later.
