    Looks like one, they can survive in zone 7a so it’s not unheard of it someone planted it

    Yes, and I’m guessing someone planted it there because they thought it was cool (it is cool)

    I’ve seen plenty on long island. It’s a popular ornamental and landscaping plant in Europe and the US. There’s a lot in the UK too.

    somehow, I’ve seen these as far north as Norway. I know. I don’t get it either.

    Monkey Puzzle trees are quite cold-hardy. They come from southernmost South America, in an area that has seasons and a fair amount of rain. Their biggest issue is that they aren’t drought-tolerant, but that isn’t an issue in New York.

    What’s it doing? Being spookie, obviously.

    We have these all over Washington because of the Seattle Worlds Fair in 1962
