Wollemia nobilis: deep time survivor 🌲🌲🌲
A Wollemia tree, grown from seeds collected from trees growing in the UK, as a consequence of the wildly successful conservation programme in Australia.

Wollemia nobilis is a member of the Araucariaceae (monkey puzzle family) discovered in 1994 in temperate rainforest in New South Wales, Australia. It is critically endangered in the wild. I love teaching my students about its ongoing conservation story (and growing it from seed).

Wollemia bark is my favourite - looks like coco-pops. Not that you would use the bark to identify #Wollemia!

Do you know about the wollemi pine? Also, it's not a pine.

I reposted an episode of The Infinite Monkey Cage from @robinince.bsky.social recently where they discussed the wonder of trees, including the primitive Wollemia Pine (Wollemia nobilis). If you live in Norfolk, you need go no further than Easton College to see this intriguing species

I hope you enjoyed these two weeks of resin. Want more? I enthusiastically recommend Jean H. Langenheim’s encyclopedic "Plant Resins: Chemistry, Evolution, Ecology, and Ethnobotany."

I’ll leave you with this spectacular resin flow from Wollemia nobilis. #Araucariaceae #resin #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

A mother Leaellynasaura and her two small chicks standing in a clearing with melting snow in the background and foreground. There are Wollemia trees topped with snow being backlit by the aurora australis. The dinosaurs are fully feathered and have a mostly speculative appearance with snow camouflage grey and white stripes.

Today's teaching: a plant conservation case study for the Year 1 Ecology module. I get to talk about Wollemia for 45 mins 😍 🌲🌲🌲
The Wollemia nobilis tree at University Park campus of the University of Nottingham. It's in the middle of a well-tended lawn and looks a bit weird, frankly. You can see the Trent Building in the background.

Is it wrong to repot an Araucaria in an old original Wollemia plant pot? It feels wrong (but buying a new pot unnecessarily would feel worse!)

Wollemia nobilis - aka the "Wollemi pine" (it's not a pine) - is a deep time survivor, & critically endangered in the wild. The remarkable conservation strategy for it means I have 2 growing in my garden (now wrapped up for sub-zero temps) & the others in pots have moved indoors.

Wollemia is critically endangered in the wild. Here's some of the trees I've grown from seeds, collected from trees that were part of the amazing conservation strategy (work out how to propagate at scale & then sell the trees around the world).

#WollemiaWednesday
A Wollemia tree with pale coloured new growth and some sunburnt leaves from last Spring, surrounded by lots of other garden plants running riot. Three Wollemias of different sizes in pots against the brick wall of a house. There's a blackberry plant in a tub next to them.

Wollemia nobilis - Wollemi pine

Whilst we're in the rich, super-isolated environment that is #NewZealand - here's another 'living fossil' tree that was rediscovered in 1994. (Although theoretically not native to NZ.)

Lovely place, although a little wet when we were there earlier this week 🌧

lures in a lot of other herbivores that consume this low vegetation in the shadow of these giants. The few large tree species that grow here all belong to the genus Wollemia, which has found ways to cope with the constant harassment.
