Growing the Wollemi Pine
.........................
The Wollemi Pine
will make an ideal feature tree for large gardens, and parklands, but
can also be maintained in a pot on patio, verandas and in courtyards.
It can be used as indoor decoration in well lit areas and tolerates air
conditioning.
The ultimate survivor, the Wollemi Pine has proven to be hardy and
versatile in cultivation. It is not only attractive and striking in
appearance, it is easy to grow and low maintenance. It will adapt to a
diverse range of climatic conditions, thriving in full sun to
semi-shaded outdoor positions.
