Large evergreen tree with spidery branches from South America, potentially one of the best nut-producing trees in oceanic climates. Eventually reaches 30m high, but slow growing, ( 2m in 10 years) and doesn't fruit for 20 years (so plant some for your descendants!) The large seeds, produced in huge cones, are edible with a chestnut flavour. Timber is used for construction, furniture, masts etc. Dioecious (need male & female trees for nuts), so best to plant a few trees to ensure you get both sexes. Show more
