The Monkey Puzzle Tree | An Ancient Species with Jurassic Adaptations and Delicious Nuts

The Monkey Puzzle Tree, one of the oldest tree species still alive in the world, is an incredibly hardy, evergreen, nut producing tree native to Chile and Argentina. These trees have sharp leaves that evolved over 100 million years ago to deter dinosaurs from browsing! They produce large cones with 250 nuts per cone. The nuts have thin, easily to peel shells. 2" long nuts taste good after roasting, resembling corn or chestnuts. 00:00 - 00:33 Introduction 00:34 - 01:35 Name Origins 01:36 - 02:51 Monkey Puzzle Nuts 02:52 - 04:07 The Mapuche Peoples 04:08 - 05:28 Climatic and Jurassic Adaptations 05:29 - 06:56 Slow Growers 06:57 - 07:44 Trunk and Bark Adaptations 07:45 - 08:01 Soil Considerations 08:02 - 10:37 Cones and Nuts 10:38 - 15:27 Monkey Puzzle Relatives
