    Hi all,

    I am local to Vancouver and like to grow beautiful and unusual conifers and other gymnosperms, including starting from seed. I would love to add Wollemia to my collection. It seems like they were being sold and cultivated in North America several years ago but now I am unable to find any sources, except for B'z Greenhouse, which has very limited supply.

    Does anyone on the Pacific West Coast have a reproductive Wollemia? Or know of a reliable source of seeds or seedlings? Thanks so much!

    I seem to recall seeing a couple smaller plants at Minter's in Chilliwack a couple months ago. They also had a large reproductively mature one, but I don't think it's for sale.

    The Wollemia seeds I've collected from cultivated plants have all been empty (non-viable), likely due to lack of cross-pollination.

    How about sources in Ireland, which is in the EU? A quick search turned up a couple leads:
    The plant is currently not available at either source but you could follow up with emails of inquiry. In the latter case, the plant is not currently listed but has been available in recent years:
