Description
One way to enhance your garden and patio space is by introducing the Araucaria tree. It's popularly called the "Christmas Tree" in India since it looks exactly like one. You can choose the size of your tree depending on where you want to place it, either indoors or out. This evergreen coniferous plant is short and slender, with nearly horizontal branches that are arranged in whorls around the upright trunk. The trunks are covered in thin gray bark, which peels off in strands, giving the trees a rough appearance. The 100-foot-tall pyramid-like trees have a nice, symmetrical crown similar to a Christmas tree when fully grown – so all of your friends will go "wow!" upon seeing this beauty!
