Araucaria angustifoliaIt is an evergreen tree growing to 40 m (130 ft) tall and 1 m (3 ft 3 in) diameter at breast height. The inner bark and resin from the trunk of the tree is reddish, which can be a good defining character because it differs from Araucaria araucana , which has brown bark inner and white resin. It prefers well drained, slightly acidic soil but will tolerate almost any soil type provided drainage is good.
