Araucaria cunninghamii
Araucaria are iconic coniferous trees with strong vertical form and distinctive layered branching. Long-lived and structural, they are well-suited to large-scale landscaping, street planting, and coastal environments where their wind tolerance is a significant advantage.
Specifier notes. Performs as a street tree where roots, canopy clearance, and longevity all matter.
Site & establishment. Coastal-hardy through frontline planting; performs particularly well behind a 5–10m buffer. Iconic form — used as a single statement piece rather than in repetition.
How we supply it. Long-lived once established, justifying the larger size grade on heritage and civic schemes.
Cape Nursery production. All Cape Nursery stock is grown 7 km from the Pacific Ocean, hardened to coastal sun and wind from propagation rather than acclimatised at point of sale. Specimens leave us biosecurity-traceable, and root-checked. National delivery is available; collection from Ewingsdale is welcomed Mon–Thu 7:30am–4pm.
