I have three of the first Wollemia nobilis that were propagated in the USA. The small one is 10′ tall and the biggest one is 14′ tall. These are some of the largest to be found in the US.

We live in Minnesota so I’ve had a close call leaving mine on the patio in a surprise hard freeze.
It was nice to know that they are hardy to 10 degrees f.
I also learned, the hard way, that they don’t like the direct summer sun.
Needles turned burgundy with sun burn.
We got ours from a rather eccentric older woman who apparently purchased it through National Geographic.
That’s why we named the pine, Helen.

I’ve never seen one of these Wollemi Pines before but I know they origins come from Australia, New South Wales a bit inland where the pine trees were discovered as the only one unique location in the world. Is it actually in the pine family? So cool! I live in Seattle, WA, and I honestly can’t recall ever running across one of these in any nursery I’ve visited before.
