Wollemi pines are the coolest looking trees ever. The bark looks like a rice-Krispy treat made of cocoa puffs. The needles look like no other tree

Very cool. Had no idea they are so slow growing, that’s interesting, though I’m guessing that might depend on the environment. There are a few I’ve seen in my area and they are a little too tall to have grown that slowly since the species was discovered.
