Monkey Puzzle tree

How do they get their names?? Branches look like monkeys tails? or monkeys actually find them hard to climb? Who knows ..one of life's mysteries !

I agree, Jo. A mystery. This one has a long way to go to reach maturity. They are magnificent trees

[Heather]

This is a new one for me! I just googled this tree and you are right, Jo, with your second guess! :)

@365projectorgheatherb ah ha thank you Heather!! they are funny looking trees and I think they like warmer climates than here you don't see that many but they do survive
