Growing Araucaria angustifolia Successfully in NZ

Araucaria angustifolia thrives in full sun and well-drained soil across most New Zealand regions. It grows best in larger gardens or parks where its height and unique crown shape can be appreciated. Ensure it has space to develop fully and minimal competition from surrounding trees. Once established, it is hardy to coastal winds, dry periods, and cold weather, making it an excellent low-maintenance option for exposed locations.

Araucaria angustifolia Care Tips

Plant Araucaria angustifolia in a sunny position with free-draining soil. Water regularly during the first summer to help it establish, then reduce watering as it matures. Avoid overwatering and ensure the site is not prone to waterlogging. It requires minimal pruning, just removing lower dead branches if needed. This tree is well suited to NZ’s varied climate, handling frost and coastal winds with ease.
