Incredible, secret firefighting mission saves famous 'dinosaur trees'

Firefighters were lowered by helicopter into a secret gorge to save the last remaining stand of Wollemi pine from the ferocious Gospers Mountain fire.

More Eucryphia! E. moorei from SE #Australia is too rarely planted even in suitable gardens. Its hybrid (with E. lucida) E. x hilleri is hardier and still has pinnate leaves (with fewer leaflets) and small flowers. Both flowering yesterday at #Kilmacurragh #Ireland @rhsirl

Well, this is what we were hoping for! £300,000 combined for Enzo Homes & Fiorenzo Sauro, & £120,000 for Arwyn Morgan, who felled the tree & 70 others in an area of ancient woodland. This is a massive fine. Well done Swansea Council. Possibly an appeal! bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-5006…
Illegal tree felling: Fiorenzo Sauro and Enzo Homes fined £300k

More beautiful than its ubiquitous cousin in almost every way, this Koelreuteria bipinnata is at its peak at the national #botanic #garden in Vácrátót, #Hungary where the local #bees are very grateful for it! @IDSTSO treesandshrubsonline.org/art…

As it’s #RoaldDahlDay today, I though it very appropriate to post this, something to keep in mind 😄 (I would also like to take the opportunity to say that Roald Dahl’s parents were Norwegian 😉🇳🇴)

The Greek Juniper Juniperus drupacea at the Folly Arboretum. A real 'wow' moment, closely followed by another when Pinus monophylla appeared around the next corner! #conifers #Hungary @Conifer_Society @IDSTSO

Does anyone know what causes die back of young second year growth of seed grown Araucaria araucana plants. Everytime we grow this species we get this die back - eventually there will be regrowth from the base of the stem
