Shame about your dad's house and garden too... It's taken more than 10 years for my Dad's Wollemi pine to reach about 1 metre tall. A garden man warned him that it would grow to be 'huge' but I don't think either of us will be around to see that!Susan Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076266839943138292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1760389804343946150.post-53001809475802315312012-12-27T11:03:30.033+11:002012-12-27T11:03:30.033+11:00Hi Susan - I hope the seller of your Huon Pine war...Hi Susan - I hope the seller of your Huon Pine warned you about the hugely long development life of a HP! My dad (being a sculptor in Huon Pine at the time) planted one in the garden of our house in Franklin Road. It stayed the same tiny pot-plant size for the 15+ years he lived there, but was unfortunately destroyed along with the rest of the property when the house burned down.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05721723151185687327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1760389804343946150.post-54597342014660529312012-12-26T22:34:49.869+11:002012-12-26T22:34:49.869+11:00your dads tree looks great.
