Araucaria columnaris (Cook Pine)

Ceanothus 'Dark Star' is an excellent landscaping shrub that provides both structure and seasonal colour. Its rich blue flowers are highly decorative, making it perfect for use as a feature plant or in mixed garden borders. It is equally effective as a screening shrub, informal hedge, or coastal planting. The evergreen foliage ensures year round interest, while its resilience makes it ideal for low maintenance garden designs.

Araucaria columnaris thrives in NZ’s coastal and temperate climates, making it a versatile addition to larger gardens. This tree prefers a sunny, sheltered spot with well-drained soil. It grows tall and upright, so be sure to allow vertical space when planting. It’s a great choice for formal gardens, avenue planting, or as a visual anchor in open landscapes.

Araucaria columnaris Care Tips

Plant Araucaria columnaris in full sun for best form and growth. Water is regularly used during establishment, then reduced as it becomes self-sufficient. Pruning is rarely needed, as its natural shape is highly structured. Avoid planting in overly damp areas as this can cause tree failure. Once settled, it handles dry spells, wind, and frosty conditions well, making it very low maintenance overall.
