I was lucky enough to go on a few garden tours this weekend of some unbelievable yards. This is  the first time I’ve seen a much coveted (to me) Wollemia nobilis. This was purchased from the original offering by National Geographic many years back.

Nice find, any indication of seed set? I need to do a drive-by of the big one in Parksville soon and see if there are any cones.

Zone 8b, Csb (Warm-summer Mediterranean climate). 1,940 annual sunshine hours 
Annual lows-> 19/20: -5.0C, 20/21: -5.5C, 21/22: -8.3C, 22/23: -9.4C, 23/24: 1.1C (so far!)

It had small cones/flowers? on the lower half and big ones up top.

If they are anything like monkey puzzles then those larger top cones may have seeds. Its monoecious from what I understand so there very well could be viable seeds up there.

I'm glad there are reproductive age trees growing in the PNW, hopefully you guys can get seed and start more plants.

They do grow from cuttings I do believe a true Australian icon tree conquering the world one garden at a time quite tough as well so don’t be scared of throwing them around the garden they sell for around $80 Australian dollars in a 7 inch pot you can purchase them from chain stores in Australia so becoming quite common when they first hit the market you had to sell an arm and a leg just to purchase one
