Wollemi Pine (found in Australia)

The Wollemi Pine Tree or the “Dinosaur tree” as it is popularly known as, is one of the biggest botanical discoveries that were made in Sydney, Australia in 1994. These unusual looking tall trees were found in the Wollemi Natural Park, 150 km from Sydney. They can grow up to 40 meters in height and are a part of the conifer family. The trunk of this tree can reach about 1 meter in diameter and its branches may grow sideways or upright, and that depends on its origin. They are a rare species and thus efforts have been made to conserve them. They’re wonderful, unusual as well as strangest trees.
