There's something quietly majestic about the Norfolk Island Pine. With its perfectly tiered branches and soft, feathery needles, it carries the silhouette of a Christmas tree year-round — elegant enough for any room, and patient enough to outlast every trend. Native to a remote island in the South Pacific, Araucaria heterophylla has traveled the world and earned a permanent place in homes everywhere.
Dress it with mini ornaments in December. Let it stand tall the rest of the year. Either way, it delivers.
