Description:
Araucaria heterophylla, commonly known as Norfolk Island Pine, is a tall, evergreen conifer that is widely recognized for its symmetrical, pyramidal shape and whorled branches. Native to Norfolk Island in the Pacific Ocean, this iconic tree is often used as an ornamental feature in gardens, parks, and coastal areas. While it can grow to impressive heights outdoors, it is also popular as an indoor plant when young, prized for its elegant and soft-textured foliage.

Flowers:
As a conifer, Araucaria heterophylla does not produce traditional flowers. Instead, it produces small male cones and larger female cones. The cones are not particularly ornamental and are rarely seen in indoor or young specimens.

Foliage:
The soft, needle-like leaves of Araucaria heterophylla are bright green and arranged in a distinctive, spiraled pattern along the branches. The foliage has a soft, feathery appearance, adding to the tree's ornamental appeal, especially in young plants. The leaves become darker and more scale-like as the tree matures.

Fruit:
The tree produces large, woody seed cones that can reach up to 10-15 cm in diameter. These cones contain seeds, but they are not a major feature of the plant, especially in younger specimens or indoor settings.

Form and Size:
In its natural habitat, Araucaria heterophylla can grow up to 50-65 meters tall. However, in cultivation, especially in gardens or as an indoor plant, it typically reaches around 20-30 meters outdoors and much smaller heights indoors. Its symmetrical, pyramidal form and neatly arranged branches give it an architectural elegance, making it a popular choice for large landscapes or as a feature tree.

Growing Conditions:
Araucaria heterophylla thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. It can tolerate a variety of soil types, including sandy or loamy soils, making it well-suited to coastal environments. The tree is salt-tolerant and can withstand salty coastal winds. It prefers mild, frost-free climates but can tolerate light frost. When grown indoors, it requires bright, indirect light and should be kept away from drafts and cold temperatures.

Uses:
This tree is commonly used as an ornamental feature in large gardens, parks, or coastal landscapes. It is also a popular indoor plant when young, often used as a decorative tree during the holiday season. Its symmetrical form and striking foliage make it a standout in any landscape, and its ability to tolerate salt and wind makes it perfect for coastal plantings.

Maintenance:
Araucaria heterophylla is a low-maintenance plant. Outdoors, it requires little pruning other than to remove dead or damaged branches. Indoors, it should be kept in a bright location with regular watering, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering and ensure good drainage. Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring to support healthy growth.

Notes:
Norfolk Island Pine is a long-lived tree that can grow for decades, making it a valuable addition to large landscapes. It is often associated with coastal environments but can be successfully grown in urban areas as well. Indoors, it can live for many years if given proper care, although it grows much more slowly than outdoors.

Companion Plants:
Pairs well with other large conifers like Agathis or Cupressus, as well as coastal plants like Banksia and Melaleuca. It also works well with tropical plants like Cordyline or Alpinia in large garden designs.

Anything from Skip I will read ASAP.
Format: Hardcover
I so look forward to reading this. Skip Atwater is a pioneer in the exploration of consciousness. I had the pleasure of meeting him for an interview while making my film Third Eye Spies and his knowledge of remote viewing and the Army history of the subject was some of the most compelling testimony I heard. I am excited to get my copy of this new book.

Glorious book on Man's (unfortunate) wars with himself
Format: Hardcover
If you have any interest in the subject matter, buy this book, it is fantastic. Many beautiful paintings and maps, some on full pages. One comment. In various parts of this book it has something called "Directory," which is just paragraphs on events that the writer did not see deserving a full page in the book. On page 42 we have "Directory: Before 1000 CE," and included is a paragraph on "Teutoburg Forest, Roman-Germanic Wars, 9 CE" The paragraph ends with: "Although there were subsequent expeditions to Germany, the Roman frontier became fixed at the Rhine (River)." Surely, this is one of the greatest battles and results in European history and should have had a full two pages in this book instead of just a short paragraph. See the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, 9 CE. Another short fall of this book is no mention of Boudica, who in AD 60 0r 61, was defeated by the Romans (commander- Suetonius Paullinus), who went on to "rule" England and Wales to about AD 410. This is my review of Graham Webster's book "Boudica: The British revolt against Rome in AD 60: Lucid, well written on Boudica, queen of the East Anglian kingdom of the Iceni tribe, and much more. Sixteen pages of black and white photographs. Contents (all of these Chapter headings have sub-headings)1. Sources 2. The Opposing Forces and the State of Britain 54 B.C. 3. Britain between the Invasions 54 B.C.-A.D. 43 4. The Conquest of A.D. 43 5. The Storm Breaks A.D. 60 6. The Evidence from the Ground 7. The Trail of Destruction Epilogue References Bibliography Glossary of Latin Terms and Words Index 24 Plates 8 Maps and Diagrams The Epilogue, a timeless piece of writing, should be read by everyone, young and old. The last sentence of the book in the Epilogue reads: "They may help us to see more clearly what is happening in the world today, and even help us prevent some of the worst excesses of human folly and greed for power, which brings incalculable misery and suffering to the innocent majority." Re: Boudica and the final battle with Suetonius Paullinus and the approximately 12,000 men under his command and Boudica's warriors, which could have been as great as 100,000, page 99, (but could be less); we apply "O2S4 MEC:" Objective (Simplicity); Offensive, Sprit of; Superiority at Point of Contact (Economy of Force); Surprise (Security); Security (Surprise); Simplicity (Objective); Movement (Mobility); Economy of Force (Superiority at Point of Contact); Cooperation (Unity of Command) On pages 98-99 in the book we have Fig. 5-, (if this is indeed the place of the final battle took place) "The battle between Boudica and Paullinus in its possible Mancetter context," it is clear that Paullinus had chosen the place of the battle and his position to force Boudica's warriors to a frontal attack and thereby creating "Superiority at Point of Contact." And this is probably what happened, as Boudica's warriors attacked and were funneled into the Roman Legion "buzz saw" due to their "simple" frontal attack. From Fig. 5 again, it is clear that there was forest behind Paullinus and his men and the River Anker in front of them. I do not know if it would have possible to attack Paullinus from the rear by going through the forest. However, again from Fig. 5, it is apparent that Boudica's warriors probably could have attacked Paullinus from the right and left flanks (even though the Roman cavalry was on both flanks), creating a three pronged attack, negating some of the Roman's "Superiority at Point of Contact." It is clear that Boudica lost "Cooperation (Unity of Command)," or never had it in the first place, leading to the rout by Paullinus' much smaller force over a much larger force and the fate of Britain for about the next 400 years. The Roman brutality that caused this uprising and Boudica's, and her warriors response, are part of history. Paullius' (whatever you think of him), choice of the battlefield was tactically brilliant, and no one, including Boudica, could match it on the field of battle that day.

Poor formatting for Kindle, GREAT as a hardback
Format: Kindle
So far I am loving this book, and hating its formatting for the Kindle. Probably because of all the maps and illustrations, it is hard to enjoy on my Kindle, and I have to awkwardly change the size of the page 3-4 times on every page while I try to read it. My guess is I would really love it as a physical book. LATER: As noted I was very disappointed trying to read this on a small Kindle, but the book looked so promising that I repurchased it in hardback. WOW what a difference. Wonderful illustrations, maps, the works. Given the number of important battles chosen, it would not be possible to go into great detail on any single one, but most people are not going to remember all those details anyway, and this book gives you what you really need, and the level of detail you are likely to remember and to help you appreciate the importance of the event. Strongly recommended in hardback.
