Default Wollemi pine plants "soon" available

According to a snippet in the local capital city weekend tabloid (_The
Sunday Mail_, Brisbane, 16 Mar 2003 P.43) orders are now being
accepted for the supply of Wollemi pine plants.

Mind you, you'll have to be patient because they are not due for
release until 2005.

The joint venturers (Birkdale Nursery and the Qld Dept of Primary
Industries) won the right to produce plants some time ago and are
propagating them near Gympie in SE Queensland, operating as Wollemi
Australia.

Prospective buyers can register now to buy plants by subscribing to
the Wollemi Pine Conservation Club at www.wollemipine.com. (They
don't seem to want any money from you just now.

It's interesting to see the options for the form of "your tree":
Indoor, Patio, Ground cover, or Tree. Very versatile.




Cheers, Phred.
