Found from sea level to 500 meters (1600 ft). It is sometimes known by the common name '''guindo'''.
It grows from southern (40° lat S) to [[Tierra del Fuego]] (56° lat S), specimens from the southern forests resist temperatures down to −20°C (−4°F).
It succeeds in [[Scotland]]. Trees planted in [[Faroe Islands]], which were imported directly from its southernmost distribution in [[Tierra del Fuego]], have turned out to be very hardy.<ref> Højgaard, A., J. Jóhansen, and S. Ødum (eds) 1989. A century of tree planting in the Faroe Islands. Føroya Frodskaparfelag, Torshavn.</ref>
