Last month, an email crossed my desktop announcing a new promotion by
Mohawk Fine Papers and I had to see more. Shortly after I called the folks at Mohawk, a copy of
Lost, a book designed by Abbot Miller, an award-winning designer, landed on my desk. In it he tells the story of the discovery and protection of the Wollemi pine.
Last week, my favorite
UPS delivery person handed me a box containing my very own tree.
Wolly, the Wollemi pine, is happily settling into a pot on my patio where he will spend the winter.
Next spring we will tuck him into a permanent spot next to some of his distant relatives, a Douglas Fir and a Western Hemlock, both natives of the Northern Hemisphere version of the temperate rainforest where the Wollemi pine was found. Since the Wollemi grows 18 to 36 inches a year, he can keep up with his cousins just fine!
About the Wollemi Pine
Park officer
David Noble discovered the pine, officially named
Wollemia nobilis, in the
Wollemi National Park in Australia as he explored an 1800-foot deep gorge on a weekend hike in 1994. Believed extinct more than 2 million years ago, fewer than 100 trees have been found and the tree has been categorized as extremely threatened and endangered.
National Geographic and
Wollemi Pine North America are propagating and offering these "living fossils" for sale to support conservation of these trees in the wild and other threatened and endangered species. You can learn more or get your own "Wolly"
from National Geographic or
from Wollemi Pine North America.
