Wollemi Pine

[Dave Shepard]

I was just watching a movie on Australia, and the Wollemi Pine was mentioned. I've never heard of them before. I guess they were around when the dinos were walking the earth.

They've been actively propagating them vegetatively. They'll soon be in the nursery trade for all to plant ornamentally, if they're not already. Much like the Dawn Redwood when it was discovered.
