“One of the world’s rarest trees—a prehistoric species that dinosaurs used to snack on—is bearing fruit for the first time after a retired couple planted it in their garden years ago. Wollemi pines – dubbed dinosaur trees – date back more than 90 million years and were thought to have died out with T-Rex, but a cluster of the prehistoric conifers was discovered in 1994, in a steep-sided gorge 125 miles west of Sydney, Australia.”

“The couple paid $93 (£70) for an 18-inch sapling, which a friend had picked up for her in 2010, and they planted it in their garden in Malvern, Worcestershire. Now, after years of loving care it stands more than 13-feet tall (4 meters).”
