It is in a large pot and has survived very well through a sustained cold snap lasting over three weeks with temperatures going as low as -12 C. One thing I did notice was that it seemed to shed some branches- two of them came off as soon as I brushed past them. This may be a survival thing or the plant may be stressed- hope this is of interest.</P> <P>Regards</P> <P>Dara Wyer</P></SPAN> Main Page Mark Taylor, Wollemi Pine UK

style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif>The Wollemi Pine is making its own bid for immortality! An eight year old tree which was propagated in Australia and imported into the UK 18 months ago is believed to be amongst the first tree ever to produce cones in the northern hemisphere. The tree is bisexual (monoecious) with both male and female cones on the same tree. Both the male and the female reproductive structures are produced on separate branches, at the very tips. The female and male cones start growing in mid-summer. In late spring the male cones release masses of pollen which is carried by the wind, to fertilise the egg cells in the female cones. The fertilised ovaries then take about 18 months to develop into seeds and the cones then split and fall apart releasing seeds that float to the ground. We have yet to see a female cone.</FONT></P> Main Page Mark Taylor, Wollemi Pine UK http://blog.wollemipine.co.uk/blog/_archives/2006/10/26/2448912.html http://blog.wollemipine.co.uk/blog/_archives/2006/10/26/2448912.html Thu, 26 Oct 2006 12:26:00 +0100 <P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><FONT color=#006600><IMG src="http://blog.wollemipine.co.uk/_images/emoticons/em.icon.question.gif">&nbsp;If you have not used this blog site before, you will need to create a reader account to login and leave your comments.&nbsp; <A href="http://www.blogware.com/users/index.cgi/cmd=signup/cmd=signup/id=419994">Click here to create one now...</A></FONT></SPAN></FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><FONT color=#006600>Once you have filled out the details on the ‘User sign up’ page you will receive a confirmation e-mail.
