Hey all and Tsuh I am growing *Araucaria angustifolia* from southern Brasil, though they are far too young to produce cones so far. They do quite well here and seem to be the best adapted species for the panhandle of Florida and the deeper southeastern United States. A friend has a specimen that just pasted the 10 meter/30 ft and is developing the attractive mature bark. So far it seems to thrive in our summer heat and humidity and is not damaged but freezes to just below 20F/-7C. *Araucaria bidwillii* can be grown here but suffers tip burn from freezes and heavy frosts if not protected say by tree canopy. *Araucaria araucana* does not not thrive during the summers, and *Araucaria heterophylla* is too tender here.
