I searched the internet to find out which botanical gardens acquired a Wollemi for their tree displays, and discovered that the trees were slow to be distributed, with the only tree in the US scheduled to arrive in Washington DC, on the other coast, a continent away.  

Meanwhile, The Wollemi Ancient Pine conservation was busy propagating more Wollemi Pine trees, and the group announced that the trees will eventually be made available to the public as well.  Yippee!

This may be years away....

Rare trees aren't cheap, so my vacation fund for viewing this magnificent tree turned into an acquisition fund, too, in case I could eventually own my very own piece of ancient history, whichever comes first...
