A monkey puzzle tree stands in a front garden on Lythalls Lane, a striking foil to the street trees, an avenue of severely pruned London planes. The monkey puzzle tree that is normally grown in Europe is the hardiest species in its genus, Araucaria araucana, which is native to Chile and Argentina, where it grows on the lower slopes of the Andes mountain range; see Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Araucaria_araucana .
