I didn't know Monkey Puzzle trees looked like that when mature, all of the ones I've seen here look like artificial Christmas trees.

I don't think those in the photos above are Monkey Puzzle's (Araucaria araucana) they look like Araucaria angustifolia...

They are not quite as hardy as Monkey Puzzle's, but I do know a few people growing them in the UK...

I didn't know they looked like Christmas trees when young. All the ones I've seen in gardens in the UK look like this one.
