Oh well, the cutest story is about a breed of parrot that's endangered in mexico but thriving in texas cities.
@ I’m not an arborist/botanist nor a person in any sort of official capacity determining if something is “invasive” but I dare say it’s either a situation where: 1) there are a number of metrics involved determining whether something is invasive OR 2) something might be invasive technically but it may not be of concern or consequence. Sequoias propagate specifically and not easily. I have no idea how these dinosaur trees propagate or how easily. I heard that there are now 500,000 Giant Sequoia trees in GB at the moment- that’s more than any place in California (where they originate from).
@steggopotamus No, they won't. They wouldn't have been thought to be gone and then found in just one area doing no harm to anything around them if there was the potential for that. Not every living thing has the potential to be an invasive species.

That is incredible that a small unknown patch of trees were discovered when it was thought that they were extinct, even more incredible that the same trees do well in the British Isles.
To be fair Australia only has 2 people per km2 and we are basically empty besides the east coast so there would be heaps of stuff that's thought to be gone but it just hasn't had someone go within eyeshot of it in a 100 or more years 😂 As someone who travels Australia full time for work I can't express how spread out things are, it's easy to drive over 1500km and only see one or two servos and no other cars.
Reminds me of the Ceolocanth , a fish only found in fossils 65 million years ago, then a fisherman caught one off the coast of Indonesia, in the 60’s and they we’re literally identicle to the fossils from 65 million years ago. Same thing they didn’t disclose the locations and only a few examples were brought back for study, still no disclosure of the site of discovery, humans love things to death!
My favourite thing about Australia is it's trees. They really are magnificent! Thank you for posting this clip. We have absolutely stunning trees in the UK too and these are a fine addition. Just beautiful! ❤
Oh wow, the last I knew they were on the brink. Only experts were allowed to even go check on them due to contamination risk. I guess it's good to see they're thriving elsewhere now. To think this plant was so close to being gone forever. Bravo to all those who worked hard to save it. ❤
@@biosparkles9442it’s not hard to find them though. People still get to them and photograph them. The threat now is bushfires, no need for poachers when every Bunnings here sells them.
I live in the area where the pines grow. I was in the RFS (Rural Fire Service) when the 2001 fires looked like they were heading in that direction. The fire brigades had to stand by with foam in the tanks as helicopters transported large buckets of water to drop on the fire. My job was to run an anti static line out to the helicopter to prevent static as they refuelled.
I miss Cornwall. Stationed there with the RAF at St. Mawgan as a NATO weapons support unit from north America. Beautiful country, people, places..fish N chips ...👍💯🇬🇧🇱🇷
@@r.guerreiro140 I believe the trees are dioecious like they're relatives Araucaria (monkey Puzzles) so a pair would be needed. Not 100% certain though.
I remember when these trees were discovered. I was really worried about them during the fires. Thank You everyone that is nurturing and propagating this species.
Pines are best trees for producing oxygen and as a softer wood and very flexible they great for residential areas opposed to harder woods which break and cause massive damages. Pines dont shead as much the pines stay on year long yes some fall but no where near as much as leaves from reg hard wood trees
I love the whole story of the Wollemi, as I used to live in that area, and the remoteness and beauty just lends itself to finding a tree so unique and beautiful. I loved dinosaurs as a kid, so of course I had to have me one of these trees, which I got about 8 months ago and it’s looking happy in its pot. Once big enough, I’ll plant it on my property along with a Bunya Pine I grew from seed 🌱🌳💚
Thanks for highlighting this Aussie gem. It would also be good to highlight that the fire fighters risked their lives in the bushfires to protect the trees. It was an extremely dangerous bushfire with so much heat, size and power.
@@casper191985Did you live through those fires? I did, and they were all across the state of NSW and did burn for months. In that period, it disrupted the state similarly as covid 19 did.
@@Senator315 I’d love to, however, I live at 7,000 ft elevation. Last night’s low was 10 degrees F and tonight’s low is 12. From what I’ve read about these tress, they would not survive here. Sometimes it gets to -8 or lower here.
@@Scepticalasfuk the thing your feet are standing on has been here for 4 billion years, do you feel weird or older when you walk bare foot on the earth
They're beautiful. It was genius to make them widely-available for relatively little money. No artificial scarcity or rarity, no hoarding, no poaching.
I’m a carpenter as well and love timbers. Look up the Huon pine only found in south Tasmania. I’ve seen them in the flesh. A two metre (6ft) tall tree is around 100 years old. There’s trees there 60 metres up and thousands of years old.
Oh that's good news. I fought and ultimately, somewhat embarrassingly received a bravery award for fighting the same (1994) fires in the same region as a member of the same station [State headquarters] that the fellas that protected the Wollemi pines were from. Nice to know they're being so widely proliferated to ensure their survival. Those guys were real hero's. Three days and nights they fought with no respite, and it was a miracle they survived. It was a very fast, very dangerous, hot fire and I'm proud of all of them.
The thing is these are a different type of pine trees compared to the British ones which have this acidic reaction causing the soil around it to not have Aussie life but these are not as acidic causing them to be much harder to grow in other areas
@Estoooopid Believe it or not but most "European Australians" were born in Australia and have never been to Europe. Your confusing native with indigenous.
@Estoooopid Firstly, what does it matter whether I'm Indigenous or of European extraction? My point was to compliment a positive and informative video. Secondly, I never made any reference to my genotype. If I had, my comment would have read "As a native, flora-loving Australian..." I was simply referring to my love of plantlife specific to the Australian continent, hence "...a native flora-loving Australian..." Grammar is important.
Do yall think these would grow in Appalachian Mtns? They look friggin dope- I live near N.C./Tennessee border & I would like for decoration & to keep there species strong. I’m surprised they don’t have cousin here… my Mtns have re-seeded the globe 4 or 5x!
Thank you to all involved. Thank you for saving them. It would be a shame to lose them. I am truly grateful even though I will never see one in person.

That was a heartbreaking summer. Killed or displaced 3 billion animals, burnt people's homes, traumatised our fire-fighters, almost destroyed these trees. All our LNP (right-wing) prime minister had to say was "I don't hold a hose, mate" while he vacationed in Hawaii. When he eventually came back our EMS heroes refused to shake his hand and people who'd lost their homes told him to f off on national television. A devastating fire season for the country.
The Wollemi pine was found in a gorge in the Wollemi National park which is not rainforest. It's fairly dry bush with small patches of wet eucalyptus forest in the gorges where the feeder creeks for the Colo River run, the last pure river in Australia due to no pollution from farms (although they keep trying gas drilling). It was an unusual find as pines are not native to Australia and are only found on farms and properties with people. The Wollemi pine species is so old it predates that list. All of the pines discovered are clones of each other and so are highly vulnerable to contamination so the area is a closely guarded secret. The small area is not threatened by bushfires (in a safe spot) but is by tourists trying to find the trees. They were found by rapids canoers walking in to ride the very remote and rough rapids of the Colo river. I was one of the firefighters who protected the national park from bushfires (not called forest fires) and we all know the location of the pines so we can stop people getting too close. The owner of the servo, many residents, and the army base north are aware as well. You will be fined heavily and may be jailed due to biosecurity risk if you do try and pass the biosecurity warning signs in the exclusion area (wide area). NPWS are the "managers" of the area.
It's not a pine though? It's a conifer in the family Araucariaceae which is indeed native to Gondwana (most continents in the southern hemisphere). It's not even closely related to the pinaceae family and only really related in the fact they are both gymnosperms. Australia and NZ has some of the highest remaining diversity of the conifer clade that contains Araucariaceae and Podocarpaceae with ancient trees such as the wollemi and the Bunya.
huge respect to our firefighters. I grew up in the Blue Mountians and a Surveyor for 35+ years. The mountain gorges are remarkable. it can have sparse low scrub at the top and semi rainforest at the bottom. my god I love this country
We have a lovely one in my town’s Botanical Gardens, but this is in Australia so I’d expect us to be keen to preserve them. It makes me so happy to see other countries embrace this amazing unique Gondwanan relict.
@@rocknralThere are numerous Wollemi pine trees in the ground in the mildest areas around the Puget Sound - including up into the Vancouver Canada area.The Point Defiance Zoo in Tacoma has several good size trees that are already producing cones
Monkey Puzzles are about 10/12 degrees hardier and are found all around the Puget Sound area- Wollemi Pines can be found in the very mildest parts of the area- Seattle/ Tacoma/ Bainbridge Island/ Vancouver
thank you for these close up shots of this amazing plant!! its been one of my favorite plants ever since i discovered it and yet its been difficult to find detailed footage of them. their leaves look so much like palms or almost fern like. what an spectacular plant
They must have survived in NSW - which isn't known for mild temperatures anymore than anywhere else in Aus - because it was tucked away in that gorge with high rock walls. Bless the firefighters who fought so hard to save them! I remember reading about this when they were first discovered and it all seemed a little big magical - they kept the location secret because they were so vulnerable - I'm so relieved they're being propagated elsewhere to ensure their survival - what a neat story 😊
Australia doesn't have mild temps any more? It does snow or at least gets pretty cold in the blue mountains. There are snow fields in NSW. We might be a country known for heat but we do have cool weather to depending on where you are
NSW is a huge state. THere can be a massive difference in temp from one part to another. Some parts down south with be cooler, the mountains can snow in winter, north gets hot, inland can be stinking hot.
Correction this species is 91M yrs old not 200M. The family that it belongs to Araucariaceae is estimated to be 200M yrs old. So the wollemi pines are still very old but not as old as has been suggested.
Well cassowaries are actually dinosaurs and saltwater crocodiles rival the size of some of the biggest Mesozoic crocs. And that hawk (another living dinosaur) that spreads fire using sticks
Aw, haha,This Pine species look as if they're doing handstands from the soil 😊 Also, Thank you so much firefighters for working tirelessly to save these beautiful prehistoric trees 🙏

There are now 5 times more Redwoods in UK than in USA. They have all been planted last 3 decades so will take many years until they will have larger volume than those in USA.
@@Mike-zx1kx there are more GIANT redwood in the UK than USA. But the biggest area of Redwoods was always the Coastal Redwoods. They span over 450 miles of forest. It's really amazing to drive through miles after miles of these massive trees.
@@jeffreykershner440 I agree that it are amazing to drive through them. I have done so and also have a picture of myself in front of General Sherman. I did mean Giant redwoods but guess those in UK are not giant yet. I meant in numbers. I am not from UK nor USA but I read about the project to plant Redwoods in UK some years ago and the information stayed with me because of my love for these giants. I have damned myself many times for not bringing home own seeds when visiting. That would have been such a cool growing souvenir.
@@Mike-zx1kx the Giant and Coastal are different species and behave drastically different. Coastal redwoods absorb a lot of water from the top, where the fog goes. Giant have a much deeper roots and get water the normal plant way. So your climate determines alot about which species is best for you. Are you in North America?
This sounds great but moving species around the world, intended or accidental, has caused a lot of problems with the native ecosystems of a lot of countries. Oz should know this better than anyone else (rabbits, cane toads to name 2); also a lot of introductions in North America particularly in lakes. So, not sure if this is truly benign. Will have to wait and see.
WOW, I bet no one thought of the environmental and social impact of that, are you related to Sir David Attenborough by any chance? These Wolomi Pines will soon be everywhere the way they are spreading, just like Leylandili hedges.
Now look at your garden and ask yourself how many of those plants are native to where you live. Not being off-hand but we've been moving plants around the globe for centuries. In my garden over here in England my "traditional English garden" has plants from all over the place. Though I do agree that certain species can do tremendous harm, my garden does look lovely😊🌻😊🌻 Not now in December of course, but definitely in summer.🤣
Sad, but true. Invasive plants are no joke, especially in warmer climate where they can go crazy all year round. I'm glad they've been saved but that probably wasn't the best thought out strategy
Trees are not invasive as their seeds don't travel far and they can be eradicated with a chain saw. Never heard of an invasive tree. Shrubs and plants yes.

Is there any way to get your hand on these seeds? I wouldn't mind growing some. I live in Northwest Washington. I can't think of a better climate and sure it would do just fine here.Luv this story. 💖
Not exactly accurate. Australia has a lot of different zones, from desert, to tropical, to temperate.. I would expect them to do quite well in certain areas of Victoria for instance. It's the start of summer now, and just the other day we had 47mm of rain in 1 night. Not over 24hrs.. 47mm bucketed down while I slept.
Cool how organisms can evolve from single cell to that then just stop at their desired outcome for hundreds of millions of years like the Gingko tree and many others.
@@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep do you mean microevolution based on the DNA? or unobserved macroevolution that gets mandatorily repeated in curriculum and entertainment?

@@LeaveCuriousI would love to get one to help keep the species going. I have a nice piece of property in Florida that has the kind of weather they would thrive in. Does it take two genetically different ones for them to properly pollinate?

Reminds me of the Ceolocanth , a fish only found in fossils 65 million years ago, then a fisherman caught one off the coast of Indonesia, in the 60’s and they we’re literally identicle to the fossils from 65 million years ago. Same thing they didn’t disclose the locations and only a few examples were brought back for study, still no disclosure of the site of discovery, humans love things to death!
I know exactly where they are I grew up there literally about 4omins drive halfa hour walk from lithgow

My favourite thing about Australia is it's trees. They really are magnificent! Thank you for posting this clip. We have absolutely stunning trees in the UK too and these are a fine addition. Just beautiful! ❤
Imagine how much more there yet to be discovered, amazing story and an even more amazing plant.
Oh wow, the last I knew they were on the brink. Only experts were allowed to even go check on them due to contamination risk. I guess it's good to see they're thriving elsewhere now. To think this plant was so close to being gone forever. Bravo to all those who worked hard to save it. ❤
This is still the case for the wild ones, the location is a very closely guarded secret
@biosparkles9442 Good.
@@biosparkles9442it’s not hard to find them though. People still get to them and photograph them.
The threat now is bushfires, no need for poachers when every Bunnings here sells them.
I live in the area where the pines grow. I was in the RFS (Rural Fire Service) when the 2001 fires looked like they were heading in that direction. The fire brigades had to stand by with foam in the tanks as helicopters transported large buckets of water to drop on the fire. My job was to run an anti static line out to the helicopter to prevent static as they refuelled.
Thank you for your help in saving them. I for one that you in particular. Your children will live 100s of years!
1) Never happened
2) It was me, not him
3) I’m lying
I thank you for that. Important stuff these trees

Can a single tree reproduce, or does it need a couple?
@@r.guerreiro140 I believe the trees are dioecious like they're relatives Araucaria (monkey Puzzles) so a pair would be needed. Not 100% certain though.
I remember when these trees were discovered. I was really worried about them during the fires. Thank You everyone that is nurturing and propagating this species.
Pines are best trees for producing oxygen and as a softer wood and very flexible they great for residential areas opposed to harder woods which break and cause massive damages. Pines dont shead as much the pines stay on year long yes some fall but no where near as much as leaves from reg hard wood trees
I love the whole story of the Wollemi, as I used to live in that area, and the remoteness and beauty just lends itself to finding a tree so unique and beautiful. I loved dinosaurs as a kid, so of course I had to have me one of these trees, which I got about 8 months ago and it’s looking happy in its pot. Once big enough, I’ll plant it on my property along with a Bunya Pine I grew from seed 🌱🌳💚
I love dragons though. I wished they lived on our planet. So I am fond of dragon plant 🪴
Thanks for highlighting this Aussie gem. It would also be good to highlight that the fire fighters risked their lives in the bushfires to protect the trees. It was an extremely dangerous bushfire with so much heat, size and power.

They're beautiful. It was genius to make them widely-available for relatively little money. No artificial scarcity or rarity, no hoarding, no poaching.
Amazing I love weird trees and all kinds of exotic woods as a carpenter and artist I really appreciate this video.
Yes is truly amazon! As in the jungle! Save the planet! 🌿🌱🌳🌲🏞️😰🏜️
I’m a carpenter as well and love timbers.
Look up the Huon pine only found in south Tasmania.
I’ve seen them in the flesh. A two metre (6ft) tall tree is around 100 years old. There’s trees there 60 metres up and thousands of years old.
Oh that's good news. I fought and ultimately, somewhat embarrassingly received a bravery award for fighting the same (1994) fires in the same region as a member of the same station [State headquarters] that the fellas that protected the Wollemi pines were from. Nice to know they're being so widely proliferated to ensure their survival. Those guys were real hero's. Three days and nights they fought with no respite, and it was a miracle they survived. It was a very fast, very dangerous, hot fire and I'm proud of all of them.
Yeah, that fire was right up there with the scariest fires we've had.
Thanks friends
The thing is these are a different type of pine trees compared to the British ones which have this acidic reaction causing the soil around it to not have Aussie life but these are not as acidic causing them to be much harder to grow in other areas
As a native flora-loving Australian I have one thing to say to people growing these precious treasures - THANK YOU!!❤

Secondly, I never made any reference to my genotype. If I had, my comment would have read "As a native, flora-loving Australian..."

I absolutely love these trees they're so beautiful and look absolutely prehistoric
looking prehistoric just means it isn't well suited for the modern-day environment. darwinian evolution is complete nonsense
I've been growing one in my garden here for the last couple of years (Australia). Just amazing to watch grow.
Makes me happy. Learned about these on a field trip to Katoomba
The Wollemi pine was found in a gorge in the Wollemi National park which is not rainforest. It's fairly dry bush with small patches of wet eucalyptus forest in the gorges where the feeder creeks for the Colo River run, the last pure river in Australia due to no pollution from farms (although they keep trying gas drilling).
It was an unusual find as pines are not native to Australia and are only found on farms and properties with people. The Wollemi pine species is so old it predates that list.
All of the pines discovered are clones of each other and so are highly vulnerable to contamination so the area is a closely guarded secret. The small area is not threatened by bushfires (in a safe spot) but is by tourists trying to find the trees. They were found by rapids canoers walking in to ride the very remote and rough rapids of the Colo river.
I was one of the firefighters who protected the national park from bushfires (not called forest fires) and we all know the location of the pines so we can stop people getting too close. The owner of the servo, many residents, and the army base north are aware as well. You will be fined heavily and may be jailed due to biosecurity risk if you do try and pass the biosecurity warning signs in the exclusion area (wide area). NPWS are the "managers" of the area.
Thanks for the great additional info Amber , stay safe if you're still firefighting
It's not a pine though? It's a conifer in the family Araucariaceae which is indeed native to Gondwana (most continents in the southern hemisphere). It's not even closely related to the pinaceae family and only really related in the fact they are both gymnosperms.
Australia and NZ has some of the highest remaining diversity of the conifer clade that contains Araucariaceae and Podocarpaceae with ancient trees such as the wollemi and the Bunya.
says it's a "closely guarded secret" then tells the internet exactly where to find it. Genius
huge respect to our firefighters. I grew up in the Blue Mountians and a Surveyor for 35+ years. The mountain gorges are remarkable. it can have sparse low scrub at the top and semi rainforest at the bottom. my god I love this country
should have just given the gps location.
We have a lovely one in my town’s Botanical Gardens, but this is in Australia so I’d expect us to be keen to preserve them. It makes me so happy to see other countries embrace this amazing unique Gondwanan relict.
Those are some cool looking trees. They definitely don't look like any other tree I have ever seen.
I would love to plant these in my future backyard to have more of these in the world, they are so beautiful
Incredible plants. Reminds me of Monkey Puzzle trees. People have those on the coast of Washington. These would do well there too!
I think they would love that Washington climate. Maybe on the coast where it's not too cold.
@@rocknralThere are numerous Wollemi pine trees in the ground in the mildest areas around the Puget Sound - including up into the Vancouver Canada area.The Point Defiance Zoo in Tacoma has several good size trees that are already producing cones

Would they grow in NW Pennsylvania where we get really cold snowy weather..I like planting unusual things and then sharing seeds .
They must have survived in NSW - which isn't known for mild temperatures anymore than anywhere else in Aus - because it was tucked away in that gorge with high rock walls. Bless the firefighters who fought so hard to save them! I remember reading about this when they were first discovered and it all seemed a little big magical - they kept the location secret because they were so vulnerable - I'm so relieved they're being propagated elsewhere to ensure their survival - what a neat story 😊
Australia doesn't have mild temps any more? It does snow or at least gets pretty cold in the blue mountains. There are snow fields in NSW. We might be a country known for heat but we do have cool weather to depending on where you are
@@Lea-bw9wj Oh, I thought mild meant not too cold and not too hot? No? Does it just refer to cooler temps?
NSW is a huge state. THere can be a massive difference in temp from one part to another. Some parts down south with be cooler, the mountains can snow in winter, north gets hot, inland can be stinking hot.
@@Lea-bw9wj A topic on which you feel deeply 😊
@@DipityS Well I am Aussie
Correction this species is 91M yrs old not 200M. The family that it belongs to Araucariaceae is estimated to be 200M yrs old. So the wollemi pines are still very old but not as old as has been suggested.
There are fossils of Wollemi from that area dating 160 million years
I just love their bark, it's described as being like Coco Pops. :)

@@Mike-zx1kx there are more GIANT redwood in the UK than USA. But the biggest area of Redwoods was always the Coastal Redwoods. They span over 450 miles of forest. It's really amazing to drive through miles after miles of these massive trees.
@@jeffreykershner440 I agree that it are amazing to drive through them. I have done so and also have a picture of myself in front of General Sherman. I did mean Giant redwoods but guess those in UK are not giant yet. I meant in numbers. I am not from UK nor USA but I read about the project to plant Redwoods in UK some years ago and the information stayed with me because of my love for these giants. I have damned myself many times for not bringing home own seeds when visiting. That would have been such a cool growing souvenir.
@@Mike-zx1kx the Giant and Coastal are different species and behave drastically different. Coastal redwoods absorb a lot of water from the top, where the fog goes. Giant have a much deeper roots and get water the normal plant way. So your climate determines alot about which species is best for you. Are you in North America?

This sounds great but moving species around the world, intended or accidental, has caused a lot of problems with the native ecosystems of a lot of countries. Oz should know this better than anyone else (rabbits, cane toads to name 2); also a lot of introductions in North America particularly in lakes. So, not sure if this is truly benign. Will have to wait and see.
WOW, I bet no one thought of the environmental and social impact of that, are you related to Sir David Attenborough by any chance? These Wolomi Pines will soon be everywhere the way they are spreading, just like Leylandili hedges.
Now look at your garden and ask yourself how many of those plants are native to where you live. Not being off-hand but we've been moving plants around the globe for centuries. In my garden over here in England my "traditional English garden" has plants from all over the place. Though I do agree that certain species can do tremendous harm, my garden does look lovely😊🌻😊🌻
Not now in December of course, but definitely in summer.🤣
Sad, but true. Invasive plants are no joke, especially in warmer climate where they can go crazy all year round. I'm glad they've been saved but that probably wasn't the best thought out strategy
Trees are not invasive as their seeds don't travel far and they can be eradicated with a chain saw. Never heard of an invasive tree. Shrubs and plants yes.

Next year: "invasive dinosaur trees are destroying the ecosystem. Action and especially funding is necessary to combat the threat"

Not exactly accurate. Australia has a lot of different zones, from desert, to tropical, to temperate.. I would expect them to do quite well in certain areas of Victoria for instance. It's the start of summer now, and just the other day we had 47mm of rain in 1 night. Not over 24hrs.. 47mm bucketed down while I slept.
