Garden Express Plant Feature - The Wollemi Pine

Thought to be extinct and only known by fossil records the Wollemi Pine was rediscovered in 1994 in a remote part of the Wollemi National Park in the Blue Mountains approx, 200km west of Sydney, Australia. The Wollemi Pine is one of the world’s oldest and rarest plants dating back to the time of the dinosaurs, and belonging to the 200 million year old Araucariaceae family. Fossil evidence of the Wollemi Pine, or at least its ancestors, date back to the mid-Cretaceous, and possibly even the early Cretaceous period some 110 million years ago. There are also fossil records showing dinosaurs inhabiting Australia at the same time before their global extinction around 65 million years ago. With less than 100 trees known to currently exsist in the wild, the Wollemi Pine has now been the focus of extensive research to safeguard and ensure its survival for 30 years. https://www.gardenexpress.com.au/shop...
