Hi, nice picture. Our driveway is steeper than that and icy right now. Getting ready to throw down some more salt. That’s my gardening report. LOL

Off to get a little bit of potting mix for my celery which has been growing in water for about two weeks.

I have been searching to purchase a Wollemi pine but have had no luck. Although a few have squeaked into a patio pot or garden, for the most part this pine is unavailable in the US.
Does anyone know why nurseries outside the US are prohibited from sending this plant to someone in country, and, more importantly, does anyone know how I could purchase one and plant it in my backyard?

Well, they ARE on the Endangered list so that’s probably part of the problem right there, as to why they’re not exported/imported. I’m sure it’s illegal, for starters.
They’re losing a lot of them to the Australian wild fires from what I’ve read. :(

I read that they saved the grove. Also, nurseries in UK and Australia ship the seeds and small pines to every other country except the US.

Does the USDA Site say why? That’s the only place I can think to look.
I wouldn’t advise breaking the law for a tree, though. ;)

An even easier home-baked cherry dessert. Serve warm out of the oven;
cold for breakfast, if leftover (fat chance). Of course you can add choc/chips.

Spread even w/ spatula. Sprinkle box Betty Crocker Red Velvet Cake Mix
over evenly. Pour cup melted sweet butter over evenly. Sprinkle w/ 1 1/2 c
sweetened coconut flakes. Bake 350 deg 50-60 min.
SERVE with ice cream or whipped cream.

There are special customs restrictions for importing live plant material, including seeds.
If you have a source for the tree, I’d suggest contacting seed companies that already bring plants and seeds in from other countries. I know Baker Creek send their seed hunters all over the world. If this tree is special, and can’t be gotten in the US, they might be interested.
No guarantees, but even if they don’t decide to import it for their own catalog, they might be able to point you in the right direction.
