Giving rare Wollemi pine trees – the ‘dinosaur tree’ - a hopeful future

We have joined with international partners to give one of the world’s rarest and most iconic trees a hopeful future. Wollemi pines have been dubbed the ‘dinosaur tree’ because fossil records show they were living 200 million years ago alongside the dinosaurs. It was thought they had become extinct between 70 and 90 million years ago until a chance discovery in 1994, when a small group of living trees was found by an Australian explorer and botanist, David Noble, growing in a remote gorge in the Wollemi National Park in New South Wales. This moment is considered one of the greatest botanical discoveries of our time. These incredible trees now face huge threats from climate change and disease and urgent action was needed to save them. Thanks to work by our partners at Botanic Gardens of Sydney a new collection of genetically diverse Wollemi pines has been made available. We helped look after these precious Wollemi pines at our tree nursery at Bedgebury National Pinetum and the first six in an international ‘metacollection’ have been planted there. See the story of this time traveller tree which has survived against all the odds. And find out more about our partnership work to save it.
