Please can someone assist me with some information on Araucaria
araucana, a species with which I have little experience.  I am concerned
at the health of a specimen within an peri-urban area, about 80 years
old.  Leaves in excess of two years old have turned brown, current years
growth is still very strong and there is a considerable amount of
epicormic growth arising at the sites of old pruning wounds.  Is this an
indication that the tree is in declining health or is it typical for the
species at this age.

I look forward to some help.
