🌲 A #Devon garden has become home to so-called dinosaur trees in a global #conservation project

#RHS #Garden #Rosemoor, near #GreatTorrington, has planted six saplings of the endangered #Wollemia pine imported from #Australia

Fossil records showed such pines were alive 200 million years ago, alongside the #dinosaurs, project bosses said

#Australia had fewer than 100 wild trees, so #Rosemoor was helping to save the pine from extinction, they added
