It is one of the world's oldest and rarest trees and its discovery in 1994 in Sydney's Blue Mountains is considered to be a major botanical find in human history - akin to finding a dinosaur alive today. Previously, the Wollemi Pine was thought to be extinct with only fossil records remaining.  With only 100 adult trees known to exist in the wild.
