"The Wollemi™ Pine is one of the world's oldest and rarest plants dating
back to the time of the dinosaurs. With less than 100 adult trees known
to exist in the wild, the Wollemi™ Pine is now the focus of extensive
research to safeguard its survival. Assist in the conservation effort
by growing your own Wollemi™ Pine and becoming part of one of the most
dramatic comebacks in natural history." (wollemi pine website)
This year the Thin Green Line is selling Wollemi Pine's as Christmas trees. After Christmas they can be planted and help to conserve an Australian native that was on the brink of extinction.
This rare Australian pine was thought to be extinct until rediscovered a few years ago near the blue mountains.
They
also make excellent gifts, and come beautifully presented in cardboard
carrier with a certificate
of authenticity, and how to care manual
with a history of the pine.
Part of the profit goes back to the Australian Conservation.
They are very hardy trees that like low light conditions and can survive well in pots with very little water.

Horticultural
experts believe that growing the Wollemi Pine in pots or in gardens and
parks everywhere is one of the best forms of insurance against loss in
the wild. As royalties from Wollemi Pine sales will fund ongoing
conservation research, buying a Pine will not only help to protect the
species but will also safeguard its continued survival.
Dead
or dying trees inside a home give off carbon dioxide and plastic trees
are normally made from petrochemicals and use a lot of natural resorces
to manufacture and usually end up in landfill (however are ok if
re-used year after year) and disposed of consciously.
So,
this year please consider buying a Wollemi Pine and help to preserve
this wonderful species for future generations and have a healthier home
environment this Christmas.
with love
