US Garden Center

The Wollemi™ pine tree was scheduled for national release in the USA through garden centers in Spring 2007, but due to the high level of demand, the launch has been delayed until Summer 2008.  

Currently you can purchase your very own “dinosaur tree” here online. Sign up for the Wollemi Watch Conservation Club Newsletter here to learn when the tree will be coming to a garden center near you.  

THE WOLLEMI™ PINE TREE: AN ANCIENT WONDER FROM DOWN UNDER

Dating back to the days of the dinosaurs, the Wollemi™ pine tree is one of the oldest plants on Earth—and one of the rarest. Less than 100 adult trees are known to exist in the wild, placing the Wollemi™ pine tree at the heart of one of the world’s most extensive conservation campaigns.

Starting in 2006, Americans have a unique opportunity to help preserve this prehistoric relic as National Geographic introduces the Wollemi™ pine to the US for the first time.

BACKED BY NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC

The release of the Wollemi™ pine tree under the National Geographic brand is an innovative case study on how public participation can ensure the long-term survival of a threatened species.

This ambitious project is already off to a roaring start—and with more and more people bringing this amazing Australian native to their very own backyard, the Wollemi™ pine tree is well on its way towards one of the most dramatic comebacks in natural history!
