Over the weekend, I got in a discussion with George about the Monkey Puzzle Tree. He said they grew along the west coast and I was uncertain but doubtful about it. I thought they had crazy nuts/fruit the fell down and broken into puzzle pieces and he had no idea what I was talking about. As it turns out, we were both sort of right. The Monkey Puzzle Nut does not actually come from the Monkey Puzzle Tree. The latter grows around here and doesn’t have weird nuts. The former grows in Africa and Asia and does. They both have deceivingly similar names, though.
I always heard/thought those trees were brought here for the Wrold’s Fair of 1907 (or around there).
