Wollemia
Our neighbour over our back fence has this wonderful Wollemi pine growing in his garden. This tree species was only known in fossil records until a small number (less than 100) were found growing in the Wollemi National Park in New South Wales in Australia in 1994. It is a very old species dating back to the time of the dinosaurs. Some interesting information is available on Wikipedia.
This particular specimen is about 10 feet tall. Last year, it was looking quite sick and slightly burnt looking, but it has recovered well this year.
Between storms, rain, and lockdown, I am on the hunt for interesting local photographic subjects. There is always something around!
Happy Gorgeous Green Thursday!
