Araucaria heterophylla is a species of the conifer family and is commonly known as Norfolk Island pine.
This evergreen beauty was first sighted by Captain James Cook during his second voyage to the South Pacific in HMS Resolution. They are much more than just ornamental Christmas houseplants, and you're about to find out why!
Norfolk Island pine trees are endemic, which means they naturally grow in a specific location or a territory. Their native habitat is (as the name suggests) Norfolk Island, an external territory of Australia located in the Pacific Ocean between New Zealand and New Caledonia.
Norfolk Island pine is not considered a member of true pines and comes from the genus Araucaria, a family member of Araucariaceae. Let's discover more about this tree species and its role in our environment.
Below you will find some amazing Norfolk pine tree facts that'll tell you all about these popular trees.
Since the Norfolk pine tree is a tropical tree, they are vulnerable to certain environmental issues. Why not go through these tips, so you can take better care of your delightful pines.
Around North America and Europe, people prefer to grow these trees indoors as house plants, and even as they sit in a corner, they look fantastic with their dense foliage. The trees that grow in the wild, as well as the indoor plants, have various uses.
This plant has a distinctly striking personality and has gained much popularity through cultivation.
