About

The Wollemi Pine is an incredibly special tree. It is one of the worlds oldest and rarest plants - Its discovery was the equivalent of finding a small dinosaur still alive on earth. It was found in the Blue Mountains of Australia over 20 years ago. Fifteen trees were found in a remote gully and the only other known specimen was a fossil of the tree.

This conifer has attractive, glaucus green leaves that in time will grow into a cross of foliage, and the unique chocolate brown bubbly bark gets covered by small growths that look like coco pops.

Planting and care

Best grown in semi shade, but will tolerate full sun. The one thing Wollemi pines really dislike is wet feet in winter, so make sure they are well drained. They work great as a pot plant or in the ground 

They are hardy to -12 but dont like snow sitting on them, so if possible shake it off as soon as possible.
