Learn About Your New Araucaria heterophylla - Norfolk Island Pine
Araucaria heterophylla – Norfolk Island Pine is a tall, evergreen conifer native to Norfolk Island, celebrated for its symmetrical form, tiered branching, and adaptability to both coastal and indoor environments. With its striking silhouette and soft, green needle-like foliage, this species is ideal as a feature tree in expansive landscapes and indoor specimen when young.
Under ideal conditions, Araucaria heterophylla – Norfolk Island Pine can reach an impressive 50–65 metres in heightwith a 15–20 metre spread, developing a classic pyramid-like structure that becomes more defined with age. Its finely textured foliage and balanced form make it visually striking and structurally strong in both formal and naturalistic designs.
This species thrives in full sun to part shade, prefers well-drained soils, and performs reliably in coastal settings, tolerating salt spray and wind exposure. While moderately drought-tolerant once established, it benefits from regular deep watering during extended dry periods.
Young Norfolk Island Pines are also popular as indoor plants, where their upright form and soft foliage lend an architectural presence to interior spaces. Outdoors, they require ample space to mature and are best suited to large gardens, parks, and coastal landscapes.
