Wollemi Pine Seeds, from the extraordinary Wollemia nobilis, offer a rare and exciting opportunity for UK gardeners to cultivate a living fossil. This ancient tree, once thought to be extinct and only known through fossil records, was rediscovered in Australia in the 1990s.
The Wollemi Pine is celebrated for its unique, attractive appearance, featuring dark green, fern-like foliage and unusual, bubbly bark. These seeds are the start of a journey to grow a tree that prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soils and thrives in both full sun and partial shade.
The Wollemi Pine is relatively adaptable to different climates, making it suitable for cultivation in the UK. It’s a slow-growing species, which adds to its appeal as a specimen tree in gardens and parks. Planting Wollemi Pine Seeds is not just about adding an exotic element to your garden; it’s about participating in the conservation of a rare species and adding a piece of prehistoric intrigue to your landscape.

Natural Germination: Wollemi Pine seeds benefit from a period of cold stratification to break dormancy. Sowing them outdoors in autumn allows them to experience natural winter conditions, aiding in spring germination.
Artificial Stratification: For controlled germination, mix the seeds with a moist substrate and refrigerate for about 1-2 months. This simulates the natural cold period, preparing the seeds for successful germination when planted in warmer conditions.
