 Wollemia nobilis - Growing Native Plants
Wollemia nobilis is a tree conifer in the plant family Araucariaceae with its closest relatives being the Kauri, Norfolk Island, Hoop, Bunya and Monkey Puzzle pines.
Wollemia – This is the Latin form of the word Wollemi, the name of the National Park in New South Wales where the trees is found.
nobilis – The species epithet is a tribute to Tony Noble who discovered the first stand of Wollemi Pines on an abseiling trip in 1994.

 Wollemia nobilis description
The cone scales have a long, distal spine reminiscent of Araucaria section Eutacta, but the winged seeds that are ontogenetically free from, and shed independently from, the cone scale are similar to Agathis.
Pollen of Wollemia is indistinguishable from the fossil pollen form-genus Dilwynites, which has a fossil record extending back to the Late Cretaceous in Australia and New Zealand.

 Wollemia nobilis
Het geslacht Wollemia was reeds gekend uit fossiele vondsten (90 miljoen jaar oud).
Wetenschappers waren er van overtuigd dat dit plantengeslacht 2 miljoen jaar geleden definitief uitgestorven was en zijn hoogtepunt van verspreiding kende in het Jura (200 miljoen jaar geleden).
De wollemia heeft al miljoenen jaar overleefd maar op het ogenblik is de soort, net als duizenden andere plantensoorten, ernstig bedreigd, vooral door menselijk invloed.

Wollemi pine (Wollemia nobilis), one of the most ancient and rare trees in the world, has a new home at the Royal Botanical Garden, Kew.
Wollemi pine may have been a dominant species in southern forests from the Cretaceous to at least the Tertiary, a span of 143 million years.
The discovery of living specimens means that the genus, if not the species, has been around for at least 145 million years and possibly as long as 200 million years.

Wollemia nobilis "Wollemi Pine" was discovered as recently as 1994, the 35m tall trees forming three small stands growing in deep gorges within the Wollemi National Park, New South Wales.
Both of these plant groups differ in the structure of their female cone and the way in which seed is held within.
The female cone of the new genus Wollemia shares the sharp and pointy outside of an Araucaria cone.

Wollemia nobilis wasn't the only tree to escape oblivion.
The ginkgo or maidenhair tree - now a popular ornamental specimen - was a contemporary of Wollemia: it too survived almost by chance, in one region of China.
"The puzzle is how things like ginkgo and Wollemia negotiate their way through this changing landscape over huge periods of time, to persist up to today.

Wollemia nobilis plants in propagation as at 12 January 1998
The Wollemi Pine is of considerable significance in the study of the evolutionary relationships of early flora on the Gondwana continent.
Wollemia is a new genus in the family Araucariaceae, and although it possesses morphological characteristics from the related genera Agathis and Araucaria, it also possesses unique features (Hill 1995).

A fossil of the thought-to-be-extinct Wollemi pine (Wollemia nobilis), along with a specimen from a living tree.
The Wollemi pine (Wollemia nobilis) is a member of the Araucariaceae family, and appears in the fossil record from as early as 150 million years ago until about 2 million years ago.
Unsurprisingly, it was thought to be extinct until 1994, when a field officer of the Australian National Parks and Wildlife Service with some botanical knowledge stumbled across a valley of conifers with which he wasn’t familiar.

Wollemi Pine (Wollemia nobilis) is a remarkable coniferous tree that was in 1994 in a series of narrow, steep-sided canyons in a mild temperate-zone rainforest wilderness area 150 kilometers north-west of Sydney.
Looking at fossil remains of this family of conifers and comparing later obtained specimens of the plant proved this to be the case, and it was duly placed into the Araucariaceae somewhere between the still extant genera Agathis and Araucaria, having some characteristics of both, but also some of its own.
Fossil remains of Wollemia are widespread in Australia, New Zealand and Antarctica, but W. nobilis is the sole living member of its genus and as such represents only one of the three genera in the family Araucariaceae.

A new coniferous tree, Wollemi pine (Wollemia nobilis), was discovered by David Nobel, a naturalist from the Wollemi National Park and Wildlife Service in New South Wales, Australia.
The Wollemi pine is located on wet ledges in a deep, sheltered rainforest gorge, within Wollemi N.P., 150 km of Sydney, the largest city of Australia.
It is a living fossil, closely related to the Dilwynites granulatus Harris, known from the late Cretaceous and Tertiary vegetation in Australia and adjacent areas.

 Wollemi Pine (Wollemia nobilis): A "Living Fossil"
Brooklyn Botanic Garden is excited to announce the addition of a Wollemi pine to our Trail of Evolution exhibit.
The Wollemi pine (Wollemia nobilis) is one of the world's oldest and rarest tree species, belonging to the plant family Araucariaceae, which dates back to the Jurassic period, more than 200 million years ago.
The pine was known solely from fossil records and presumed extinct until it was discovered in 1994 in the Wollemi National Park, just outside Sydney, Australia.

Preliminary results on the dendrochronology of Wollemi Pine (Wollemia nobilis), a new conifer genus from NSW, Australia
Wollemi Pine was discovered in 1994 lying in a deep sandstone gorge in the Wollemi National Park about 200 km west of Sydney.
It is hoped that the species will be sensitive to the regional climate as it is the only species on the central tablelands of NSW to produce long chronologies.

 Treetalk Interview, 6-Jul-1998
The ginkgo, one of the strangest of all trees, does not even exist in the wild; while the utterly bizarre Welwitchia is restricted to a small area in the Namib desert.
The Florida Torreya is as rare as Wollemia (about 20 wild plants), but none are sexually mature.
Only one plant of the cycad Encephalartos woodii has ever been found, and it was dug up and planted in several botanical gardens.

It is true that the delivery date for U.S. was Nov.15, 2006; however, I received notice that the plants "needed a little more time in the nursery".

It would also be very disadvantageous for the tree in trying to develop an optimal crown.

 PlantFiles: Detailed information on Wollemi Pine Wollemia nobilis
I will have to watch the phosphate (a lot of it in the soil here, maybe too much; I hope that Wollemia is much less fussy about that than Protea and its relatives) and the drainage (none too good on my sand/clay mix with clay underneath).
I probably have the one of the largest private collections of Wollemia nobilis with over 250 trees both in the USA and Australia.
I was able to obtain export permits from the Australian Government back in August and exported them to several countries.
