This is fascinating, a species 220 million years old and thought to be extinct for 2 million years. Now it can be yours, in the States that is, for only $100.

Nice looking pine, but a bit out of my price range. Wayside Gardens has a black bamboo for $99.95, it is luscious.

I hope the Wollemi Pine that they have found continue to thrive and that they can keep breeding new trees to conserve the species. It would be such a pity to really lose this ancient tree form after finally rediscovering it.

$100 dollars doesn't seem like to great a price to pay for your very own prehistoric tree. Very Happy

Out of my price range too Cajunbelle!
The Ginko Tree is from the time of the dinosaurs too. I don't think they cost that much though!
