Wollemia nobilis
Wollemia nobilis, a relative of the Norfolk Island pine, is a rare and ancient tree discovered in 1994 in Australia's Wollemi National Forest. It features dark green, plastic-like foliage and can grow up to 100 feet tall. This tree is notable for its ability to survive a wide range of temperatures, from 15 to 106 degrees Fahrenheit, making it a hardy choice for cultivation. Wollemia nobilis grows on steep sandstone cliffs and is a fascinating example of a living fossil.
