Celebrate 30 years since the rediscovery of the Wollemi Pine with an exclusive Garden Express deal—get a 150mm tree, an inspiring book, and a Woolie the Dino plushie, all for just $99, while stocks last!
- In 1994, National Parks Ranger David Noble stumbled upon the Wollemi Pine in a remote canyon north of Sydney, a tree once thought extinct for millions of years. This discovery has been compared to finding a living dinosaur.
- The Wollemi Pine, known as a "living fossil," is the last surviving species of the Wollemi genus, part of the ancient Araucaria family. It was believed to have been extinct for over 2 million years.
- Garden Express is the only source for purchasing Wollemi Pines, and each year, they offer a limited number of trees for sale.
- To celebrate 30 years since the rediscovery, Garden Express is offering an exclusive deal on the Wollemi Pine, including a 150mm tree, a book detailing the tree’s amazing story, and a Woolie the Dino plushie—all for just $99.
- The package is valued at over $150, making it a unique and affordable way to add a piece of living history to your garden for just $99.
- The Wollemi Pine is difficult to propagate and takes time to grow, meaning Garden Express has limited numbers available.
