Coihue Explanation: "The Coihue (Nothofagus dombeyi) is a tree species that inhabits the Andean heights of the Argentine Patagonia and central Chile, between 700 and 1,200 m above mean sea level. It forms dense forests, like those found in the Los Alerces and Nahuel Huapi national parks. It thrives in low hills with gentle slopes, being very demanding of water and soil; the largest forests are found on the slopes looking south, and the healthier specimens tend to grow on the banks of rivers and lakes. It sometimes forms mixed forests with Araucaria araucana (monkey-puzzle) trees, for example in the Villarrica National Park in Chile." Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coihue |
