#wollemi pine trees

[reblogalanaartdream]

Kinda wish more people would talk again about the living fossil trees they found in Australia

The Wollemi Pine tree

Apparently it’s from the time of the dinosaurs

There’s only 90 of them found in the wilds of Australia so there are efforts to grow more for the future and to keep them from going extinct again

I remember as a kid it was a big deal when they 1st found out about them

And thanks to many people efforts you can go see them in the blue mountains botintical gardens here in N.S.W. Sydney from some they have managedto grow
