La Araucaria araucana es de origen muy antiguo y se remonta a la época de los dinosaurios con una capacidad de supervivencia a toda prueba. Es tan antiguo que se han encontrado formas fosilizadas de un periodo muy temprano inclusive en Europa; lo que nos da una idea de su anterior extensión por el mundo para finalmente echar raíces en las tierras cordilleranas mas al sur del sur. El árbol llamado pehuén, reconoce como su hogar las tierras de Chile donde se lo encuentra hasta los 2000 metros de altura. Jardines botánicos del mundo lo han rescatado como ejemplar curioso para sus colecciones de plantas exóticas. Donde se siente mas a gusto es en el Chile pre-cordillerano donde vive en armonía con el pueblo Mapuche que lo quiere y lo cuida. Esta especie resiste la rudeza del clima y la dureza del terreno creciendo en zonas rocosas y arenosas, resiste a la fuerza del fuego y renace de las cenizas cuál ave fénix. Su madera en dura y resistente por eso es muy codiciada por la industria del mueble. Este árbol milenario ha sido bautizado bajo el sistema binomial cómo Araucaria araucana siguiendo la nomenclatura establecida por Von Lineé que tuvo la ocurrencia de querer establecer un orden en la naturaleza.

 

 

The Araucaria araucana is of very ancient origin and dates back to the time of the dinosaurs with a foolproof survival capacity. It is so old that fossilized forms from a very early period have been found even in Europe; which gives us an idea of its previous extension around the world to finally take root in the mountainous lands further south. The tree called pehuén, recognizes as its home the lands of Chile where it is found up to 2000 meters high. Botanical gardens around the world have rescued it as a curious specimen for their exotic plant collections. He feels most at home in pre-Cordilleran Chile where he lives in harmony with the Mapuche people who love and care for him. This species resists the harshness of the climate and the ruggedness of the terrain growing in rocky and sandy areas, it resists the force of fire and is reborn from the ashes like a phoenix. Its hard and resistant wood is therefore very coveted by the furniture industry. This millenary tree has been baptized under the binomial system as Araucaria araucana following the nomenclature established by Von Lineé who had the idea of wanting to establish order in nature.
