Norfolk Pine

A few Norfolk pines (Araucaria heterophylla) appear in the area around Gavalochori, and you are likely to notice them because they are so striking with their widely spaced branches and symmetrical triangular shape. The Norfolk pine’s branches grow almost horizontally from its straight trunk to form floors, with the plane of each floor a perfect pentagon. A type of conifer, the tree is native to Norfolk Island, an island territory of Australia. Captain James Cook noted the presence of large forests of these tall, straight trees when he visited Norfolk Island, and he thought they would make excellent masts for sailing ships. The Norfolk pines were discovered not to be resilient enough for this purpose, however, and this industry was abandoned.
