Wollemia Christmas trees provide the latest chapter in a truly remarkable history of one of the world’s rarest trees. The fact that Wollemia came from total obscurity in the Australian outback to being the most exciting Christmas tree within 14 years is amazing. The Wollemia is relatively easy to keep indoors and is quite happy outside as well. Reserve now Offering the Wollemia as a Christmas tree is actually quite logical. Christmas trees used to be only Norway spruces but they dropped needles everywhere and have been overtaken by Nordman firs. Now this Australian dinosaur pine could overtake all of them with its good looks and intriguing history.
Tregothnan has a long history of experimenting with new species in the UK; home also to the first outdoor Camellias for the last 200 years, giving rise to the first English tea grown in England. It is believed that cultivating the Wollemia as a Christmas tree is a world first, something that could well catch on in other countries. There is guaranteed to be no needle drop. Tregothnan is offering the Wollemia Christmas trees at the remarkable price of £39.95, officially the best value ev er in the UK! Tregothnan expects to have great interest in this novel Christmas tree.

Not only is this a fun Christmas tree, it is a completely new way of conserving the species- by spreading it around the world as the “must have Christmas tree” it is unlikely to again be threatened with extinction. The Christmas Wollemia tree is around 3ft tall in its own pot. Eventual height is unknown but the trees respond well to shaping and cutting if space is limited. It is now known that the tree is quite happy outside in the UK and since the sensation of its discovery in 1994 it has been taken to much colder regions with great success, all as part of the conservation efforts based on the original grove of a few trees.

 

Staff news from Tregothnan is worth adding as Daniel Fields has today successfully passed his chartered surveyors exam to become a full member of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors.
