Re: Wollemi Pine

Hi, All:
 
Being a plantaholic I would love to add this amazing conifer to my collection.  However, I think I read in the "Conifer Quarterly" that this pine is hardy in zone 7 and above.  Dale, maybe you can grow it in the house and summer it outdoors like many palms and the Australian Fern tree?
 
Hostally,
 
Rich Horowitz

Do you really expect it to be hardy in Ontario? I would not think so. If, however, you should be successful, for which I shall fervently pray, I beg you to let us know!
