Most notably the fine Araucaria araucana
(Monkey Puzzle Tree) said to be one of the earliest imported
to Cornwall and planted by the first owner Samuel Trist. When
the current owners arrived at Trist House in 1994 the garden
was very overgrown and they have lovingly evolved the current
garden around its original layouts.
