Suggest a correction or write a new one!
Araucaria luxurians is a species of conifer tree native to New Caledonia. It grows up to 40 meters tall and has a conical or pyramidal form. Its bark peels and releases a red exudate, and its leaves are variable in shape and size. The female cones are about 10 centimeters long and wide, and the male pollen-bearing cones are up to 15 centimeters long. It is cultivated as an ornamental on New Caledonia, and is popular as a Christmas tree due to its attractive conical growth habit and lusher foliage. However, due to New Caledonia's strict export laws, it is rarely encountered outside of botanical gardens and other specialised collections.
