A bit of a monkey puzzle

This is part of one of the Monkey Puzzle (Araucaria araucana) trees in Kew gardens.
Monkey Puzzles were much loved by the Victorians . You still see them in people's gardens occasionally, although they're not really suited to the ordinary garden because they can reach 50 to 60 feet over time!
