Description

If you've got a gardening friend or loved one, you won't find a more exciting or fascinating gift to give them than this incredible and unusual tree!

Thought to be extinct with only a few fossils remaining, a small number of living specimens were recently discovered in a wild and remote part of southern Australia. The Wollemi Pine has now been officially designated one of the rarest and oldest plant species on the planet, a living 'dinosaur' of the Jurassic age. This miraculous time traveller has managed to survive not just 1 but 7 ICE AGES having outlasted both the dinosaurs and many of its contemporaries in the plant kingdom thanks to its unique and fascinating growing habits.

• It has an extraordinary bubbly bark that looks just like bubbling chocolate.
  
• Frond like foliage shaped similar to a Stegosaur's tail that change from apple green in the Spring to blue green in the Winter.
  
• Strange 'polar caps' to the ends of its branches in Winter to protect it
  from frost and biting winds.

Sir David Attenborough was recently quoted as saying -
How marvellous and exciting that we should have discovered
this rare survivor from such an ancient past.

Each well established tree comes in a 3 litre pot with detailed growing instructions, a pack of 'friendly fungus' to ensure complete establishment and a genuine Certificate of Authenticity.
