Wollemi Pine Tree
Wollemi Pine Tree is the weirdest shaped and oldest coniferous trees on the planet. Discovered in 1994 on a ranch in Australia’s Blue Mountains, this tree is so unique that it was given its own family-the Araucariaceae.
Scientists believe that the Wollemi pine tree may be over 2,000 years old! The Wollemi Pine is a conifer tree that grows to a height of 130-145 feet with a diameter of 6-9 feet.
The Wollemi Pine grows so slowly that it can take up to 400 years for a tree to reach maturity.
