The Norfolk Island Pine

                       
Pines are conifer trees in the family Pinaceae. Norfolk Island Pine, also known as (Araucana heterophylla) is the same frilly, pretty, little tree sold as an indoor decor during the festive season. 
Did you know that researchers have suggested that the Pine needle tea could assist with health problems such as colds, flu, obesity, bladder, and kidney issued?
Did you know that the Norfolk Island Pine could be dangerous to most household pets such as dogs, cats, and birds? This plant is great for indoors since it could be placed in small pots, and be placed on table-top or countertops to brighten up living spaces. The Norfolk Island Pine make great landscaping plants, however, should not be planted close to a house, since these trees can grow very tall, a topple in high winds causing harm to householders.

  2. I am aware that these plants can grow to about 150 feet in height, so pines should be planted far from homes.
