this is going to strike you as a very silly question, but how do you
get seeds from the monkey puzzle? we are moving and would like to take
a baby from our 40 foot high beauty in our north of scotland garden.
there is a large fruit on the top of the tree, coconut shaped. are the
seeds within, or elsewhere?

For general info:
http://www.conifers.org/ar/ar/araucana.htm
this site also provides a picture of seeds, in the description of the
related /A.angustifolia/
Note that conifers never have fruits, but at most fruit-look-alikes.
Also note that any movement with seeds accross borders has
CITES-implications.

According to
http://www.victorialodging.com/sowin...uzzle-tree.htm
you 'd better plan to stay a long time at your new location as it will take
a long time for any sizable tree to develop
