Wollemi update

Description

Last year Gardening Australia looked at the Wollemi Pine Wollemia nobilis, a 200-million-year-old remnant of the age of dinosaurs-- a tree believed to be long extinct until a chance discovery in 1994 of a grove of Wollemi in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney. Since then the Wollemi Pine has been studied and propagated. This means a species that had nearly died out has been saved so that future generations can enjoy this attractive and botanically fascinating tree.
