Monkey Tree in Father Michael's Garden

Projects > Environment Project 3rd Class

There is a huge tree in Father Michael's garden that everyone calls the monkey tree. The monkey tree's real name is araucaria araucana. The seeds are edible similar to large pine nuts and are common in Chile. It got its name from someone saying, "It would puzzle a monkey to climb that."
