Step back in time with this living fossil from the Gondwana era - the Gymnostoma australianum! The Daintree Pine, as it is known, is a rare and collectible native conifer, found only in the ancient Daintree Rainforest. Its graceful, teardrop shape and fine, ferny green foliage make it a striking addition to any garden. Perfect as a traditional Aussie native Christmas tree, a stately standalone specimen, or planted in a formal row.
