Between all tree that I know, my favorite tree is Arrayan(Luma apiculata), also called Arrayan chileno, Palo Colorado, Quetri o Temu. Why I like?? Because this tree is different of rest with respect to that bark, is brown when is young and orange when It is adult, is beautiful and it´s very easy for distinguish of other trees. It Is a Chilean native species , a evergreen tree. It grows in temperate forest, near streams, between V to XI region.
Another tree that I like a lot is the Araucaria Araucana. commonly called the monkey puzzle tree, monkey tail tree, Pehuen or Chilean pine. It is a endemic tree of Chile, lives almost exclusively in mountain areas. the tree venerated by the pehuenches (pehuen people), a branch of the Mapuche culture, who were supplied with their seeds, the pine nuts, whose nutritional value is very bad, thus becoming the basis of their diet.
In 1976 it was declared a Natural Monument of Chile, because its state of conservation in Chile is classified as vulnerable, so its clearing is prohibited.
