Cerro Cuadrado Petrified Forest Around 160 million years ago in a part of Gondwana (then a supercontinent comprising South America, India, Australia, Antarctica, India and some other bits and pieces) that is now called southern Patagonia, a forest of hundred metre tall relatives of monkey puzzle trees was buried in volcanic ash. An entire forest ecosystem was partially preserved as the ash turned into rock, including many large pieces of Auracaria. Discovered in 1919 by German Argentinian botanist who followed up the fossil pine cones he encountered in local farms back to their source, the trees preserve some of the earliest evidence for bracket fungus and wood boring beetles. The cones came from a tree known as Auracaria mirabilis, and it is thought that the long necks of sauropod dinosaurs such as Argentinosaurus may have evolved specifically to browse on these huge tall trees.

Merry Christmas 🎄 The brass planter on the #christmastree Is from the times of my grandma it was used in those days for keeping flour. The vessel has not been used for more than 40 years till one day I found it in my parents home in store room along with many more large brass and copper utensils. Initially wife jee did not likedbthe idea but then she surprised me by bringing back the shine on the vessel back, I can't tell you how happy I am. The kids decorated the two #trees one is a real #auracaria and the second one is an artificial one. I guess the meaaage this Christmas is of #reuse, #recycle and rebuild. . . . . #christmas #christmasdecor #gurgaon #desitraverler #christmas🎄 #festivalsofindia #happyholidays #mobilephotography #brass #indoorplant #gardening #brassplanter #christmasgifts #christmasparty #familytime❤️ (at Gurgaon City) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrzJhnaAzvZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bgi4mq5wvehe

This Araucaria araucana is entering its second winter in the garden.  Usually happier in hardiness zones 8 and up, it has been relatively unperturbed here in zone 7.  It is definitely one of those plants that is nicer to look at than to touch, those prickles can be painful to the gardener weeding nearby!
