Sunia, we had a small specimen on loan here in Perth in 1997. Only a
prileged few have seen the adult trees since their location is kept
stricly hush-hush. From my recollection of photos shown on TV it appears
to be an attractive, feathery tree of a fairly typical Araucaria form.
Sydney Botanical Gardens is propagating them and they should become
available in due course.
