Another unique feature is its pattern of branching, with the mature foliage having two ranks of leaves along the branches. Its bark is also distinct even from related species, closely resembling a rich, bubbling chocolate.
Our Mission
The mission of Wollemi Pine International is to conserve the Wollemi™ pine tree for future generations and to raise awareness of conservation internationally. Through public participation, we will repopulate the Wollemi™ pine tree and return royalties to fund conservation of the Wollemi™ pine trees in the wild, as well as other threatened and endangered species.
Wollemi Pine International
Wollemi Pine International Pty Ltd is the marketing arm of Wollemi Australia. Wollemi Australia is a joint venture between the Forestry Plantations (formerly the Queensland Department of Primary Industries Forestry) and Birkdale Nursery. The Botanic Gardens Trust (Sydney) has licensed Wollemi Australia to propagate and market the Wollemi™ pine tree internationally.
It was decided in the Wollemi Pine Tree Recovery Plan that in order to protect the wild population, having Wollemi™ pine trees in gardens, homes, and parks throughout the world is a key conservation strategy.
Wollemi Pine North America
Wollemi Pine North America was founded expressly to promote and sell Wollemia nobilis to raise money for conservation of the species and to build awareness for threatened and endangered species the world over. We are the exclusive North American licensee of Wollemi Australia, a joint venture between Forestry Plantations Queensland and Birkdale Nursery, under license from the Royal Botanic Gardens Trust and NSW Government.
National Geographic & Wollemi Pine North America
Starting in 2006, American consumers have a unique opportunity to help preserve this prehistoric relic as National Geographic introduces the Wollemi™ pine tree to the United States for the first time.
As propagation is identified as a key conservation strategy in the Wollemi™ Pine Tree Recovery Plan, the release of the Wollemi™ pine tree is an innovative case study in how to ensure the long-term survival of a threatened species through public participation.
