Norfolk Pines
Norfolk island pines
I never had any luck growing a Norfolk Pine in Tucson -- the weather is too dry.
The Norfolk Island Pine (Araucaria heterophylla or Star Pine) grow to a height of about 50 -> 65 m.
Yes.AnswerSome herbivores find Norfolk Pines (which aren't a true pine) quite tasty. On the island itself young trees have to be protected from roving cattle. As for household pets, the Norfolk Pine is considered safe for pets, including parrots (which will chew any leaves within reach) although it would be prudent to limit the intake of leaves. Of course, a parrot let loose on a Norfolk Pine would result in a very sorry looking tree!
Pines have special kind of roots that allow them to store water and their leaves to withold the water that's why they have longer leaves
Take your pines, cut off most the roots to cripple them, place a tin cup in a branch for loose change, and presto, your pines are much more begger!
There really is nothing you can do. Norfolk pines are not made for freezing weather, but for temperate zones. Your tree will, unfortunately, die. At most, try to cut back the tree and watch for any regrowth, but its chances are not good.
Surface roots generally are called aerating roots (or pneumatophores). The surface roots of bonsi trees are called nebari, and are an integral part of shaping the final bonsi tree art.
I believe it can as long as there is no direct sunlight on it. Misting with water occasionally could be beneficial too. Rich loose soil,large pot and good drainage a must. Norfolk pines have no problem with direct sunlight as long as they are kept moist. It will be fine on a screened porch, but it should have occasional sunlight. In their natural habitat, Norfolk pines certainly have direct sunlight, but this must be filtered if the pine is kept in a pot.
Because the roots of the saguaro cactus are just below the surface.
Not yet, but its chances of survival are not good. Norfolk pines are not designed to live in areas where frost occurs. If the weather is cold enough to cause the top to freeze, the tree's prognosis for the long term is rather grim.
