The Monkey Puzzle Tree (Araucaria araucana) is CITES listed Appendix 1. Which means it cannot be traded under any circumstances, nationally or internationally.

With last years European Timber regulations requiring source information for timber products, anyone dealing with this species should be very wary.

Sorry to put a downer on the thread!

Not quite how I read it

From the cites website

 

Appendix I lists species that are the most endangered among CITES-listed animals and plants (see*Article*II, paragraph 1*of the Convention). They are threatened with extinction and CITES prohibits international trade in specimens of these species except when the purpose of the import is not commercial (see*Article*III), for instance for scientific research. In these exceptional cases, trade may take place provided it is authorized by the granting of both an import permit and an export permit (or re-export certificate).*Article*VII*of the Convention provides for a number of exemptions to this general prohibition.

As I read it permits are required for international import/export only, would explain why they can be freely bought in garden centres 😁

i don't believe it maters if you are dealing in the country of growth.

 

i contacted cites once as i had a wood sample 6"x4"x1" of MP that i wanted to send to the states and was told it would need a licence but i was also told that selling it in this country was fine, you just cant export it.

 

its to stop countries that don't have it wanting it really. every country want's what it doesn't have it seems...

The problem, as I see it, is the combination of CITES and EUTR, which became effective 3rd March last year (2013) where they count everything as place on the EU market, which at present includes the UK market!

 

Due diligence is the key phrasing in that legislation.

And anything in garden centres is exempt, as that would be regarded as 'unharvested'.

as i read it, import and export. neither of which has been or is going to be done.

Hi

 

No havent made it into I international exports yet. Trouble is this trunk is mostly too big for most turners so quite a lot needs milling. Certainly keeping some boards for myself as the tree is from the same first seed batch as the Bicton avenue.
