Wollemi Pine

The ‘Dinosaur tree’ or ‘living fossil’, the Wollemi Pine is certainly one of the greatest botanical discoveries of our time.
"Having a Wollemi Pine in the garden allows everyone to help conserve this unique endangered species." (Dr. Cathy Offord, Royal Botanical Gardens Sydney)

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.
