dave524 Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Monkeypuzzle tree? That would be my guess, looks like the drought got to it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kawartha Kev Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 I think that is what it is from what some of my other friends told me also shame if it died because of the drought they are rare and not very hardy in that area but by the size of it you can tell it has lived for a while.

dave524 Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 I recall seeing a few specimens way back when I took Dendrology in an arboretum setting where they would have had winter protection. Pretty sure the Niagara Parks Commission has a few in the greenhouse at the falls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Definitely not a normal specimen for our zones. Could not be sure myself if it was an araucaria or related to an aralia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
