In South America, you can find the amazing Araucaria excelsa trees. These trees are very special because they grow very tall. Originally from Norfolk Island in the Pacific Ocean, they now also grow in Guatemala.

The Araucaria excelsa, also called the Norfolk pine, can grow up to 70 meters tall! That's taller than many buildings. These trees have small, spiral-shaped leaves that grow around the branches. They look like green, pointy stars.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Endemic to three islands that make up Norfolk Island (Australia) which includes Norfolk Island itself, and the two nearby islands of Phillip Island and Nepean Island. On Norfolk Island itself, natural forests are largely restricted to the Mt Pitt (316m) area within the Norfolk Island National Park. On Phillip Island, a 4km² small island 6km south of Norfolk Island, the natural vegetation was largely destroyed by rabbits and other introduced animals by the 1970s and almost all Araucarias were lost. There are also historical records of its presence on the tiny limestone island of Nepean (10.5ha) off the south coast of Norfolk Island. In the early 1790s, about 200 mature trees grew there but by 1840 these had been reduced to one live and one dead tree; these appear to have persisted in some state until the late 1930s (Norfolk Island Parks and Forestry Service 2003). Currently there are no Araucarias on this small island.
