My lovely girlfriend Nathalie recently went to the magnificent Kew Gardens as part of her RHS course that she is studying for. I of course pestered her endlessly to check whether or not they had any Monkey Puzzle trees there and if so could she take some photos for me. With hindsight I could have simply checked their website and discovered that yes they do have a Monkey Puzzle tree - http://www.kew.org/plants-fungi/Araucaria-araucana.htm - in fact they have a number of them:

However, as explained before, I will only count all of these trees as one tree to see until I actually see them, at which point I will count them individually as trees seen.
Still my pestering was worthwhile as it resulted in these two photos of the tree planted at Kew in 1978.
