5. The Golden Pine

This Araucaria Araucana (also known as the Monkey Puzzle Tree) represents the golden ratio in its spiky leaves. These branches twirl out the bark of the tree to form a complex web of spirals, a true sight to behold. If you look at the branch face-on, you can see the golden spiral. This ratio is seen everywhere in nature, and can be shown through beautiful ways such as our picture; The Golden Pine.
