My favourite conifer. BUT it has an unfortunate habit of shedding its
dead branches without warning. How many Monkey Puzzles more than, say,
a dozen metres in height have you seen without bare trunks to several
metres? A Monkey Puzzle overhanging a path is not a good idea.

Cutting the lower branches off can be done, but I'm not sure the tree
will look right!
