Araucaria araucana (Monkey Puzzle)

Conifers provide gardens with structure, shape and colour to create all year-round interest. They are long lived and available in many shapes, colours, forms and easy to maintain. Larger varieties need plenty of space and are better suited to larger gardens. Heights are based on 10 years of growth. Conifers will generally double in height after another 10 years.

  • Planting: Most conifers like an open, sunny spot. They will tolerate some shade but grow better in full sun. Avoid waterlogged ground.
  • Fertiliser: Bonemeal can be added into the growing medium to aid root development. A slow-release fertiliser can be used in spring, such as Miracle-Gro.
  • Watering: Watering after planting is essential, especially in spring and summer whist the plant is settling in. Once the conifer is well established you only need to water during long, dry periods.

  • Clare K Verified Buyer
    I am delighted with my new, rare, miniature Abies Koreana plant, from Aswood Nurseries, which arrived securely packaged and with plant care details enclosed. The overnight carrier provided a good service and advised me of a short delay in the delivery. The nursery notified me on the availability of my plant, via email and having made my purchase, which was very straight forward, I requested a delayed dispatch date to coincide with my return from holiday, which was observed. I am a returning customer and can always be sure that I will receive a reliable service from this specialist nursery. One happy customer.
