Yup, sadly the vegetation in most of Argentina is ugly af, even in the wetter parts. But the jacarandas and the palmeras all over Buenos Aires are a testament that you can grow a lot of things there. But the worst vegetation that I've seen in South America was easily in Lima, everything looks gray and dead
The vegetation of central Argentina isnt great,i've seen in street view and the native trees there are quite ugly,most of them are medium sized deciduous shrubs,maybe due to the dry climate there,the only tree I like there is the humboldt willow due to it golden autumn colour.
Dry climate in the Pampas? really
Indeed, in the Pampas the thing is that there are almost no native trees, but the bush-tree Ombu is very picturesque aswell as the Pampas Grass, used around the world as ornamental grass, and well, Argentina as a whole, despite of what the annoying chilean or mexican troll faking US persona says below, is plenty of beautiful trees from north to south.

Let's also not forget that the North American cities use 80-10 normals, Southern Cone use the outdated 60-90 normals, this says all you need to know about the state of North American climate
North of Rio Grande, if you're a mexican troll
Uh, and we're enough of your steady and off topic "sidenotes", so i reported it to the mods to take care
Back on topic, two records broken in the region yesterday. First, Mendoza with a min of 27.5ºC, then Santiago with a max of 37.7ºC
And the heat continues today. Santa Rosa, La Pampa Province, was the station hottest today, reached 43.3ºC.

I guess this Ombu would not survive there,since during cold waves temperatures can get below -10C.

Well, the east side of La Pampa, where Calden grows, still hasn't a dry climate. And thanks to remind me of the Calden, another beautiful medium to small tree especially during summer, our national version of those typical african savanna trees

Next two days of hot weather before a great cool down with lows below 10C in some places,and then another hot wave will push temps back to 40C.
Nexts 10 days will be wild for the South Cone.
Also,Gfs is showing something very strong late this month :
Had around 37C here in rural Victoria yesterday- warm as Bro.
I flew out of NZ on Saturday, and it just happened to be the coldest summer day in Motueka for for a number of years. With 12.2C/16.6C. Also had 131mms of rain, and very windy so quite grim. Sounds like I've taken a bit of a financial hit, with the wind damaging my tamarillo crop- not cool.

How the hell did you get 131mm of rain in one day? That must be rare.
And it was the same temperature in the city!
