Coigüe de Magallanes
Category: Tree
Native tree from the far south of Chile, evergreen and very resistant to cold, wind, and extreme weather conditions. It forms dense forests in Patagonia and is ideal for ecological restoration projects or large gardens in humid, cold areas. It grows relatively slowly and can reach a large size, so it is not recommended for small spaces. It gives the landscape a natural, robust appearance.
