Roger’s Nothofagus
antarcticus is a native of southern
South America (S Argentina and Chile). The genus is especially
interesting because it is one of the major ones that helped underpin the
concept of Gondwana and continental drift. There are Nothofagus species in S. America, New Zealand, Australia, New
Caledonia and New Guinea. This species is relatively uncommon in its
native habitat. It is deciduous, producing bright green new leaves in
spring, which by autumn turn yellows, reds and oranges. It grows well
with bonsai treatment
