I life in the Boston Area. I have a Norfolk Island Pine tree that my
wife gave me 30 years ago. It is getting too tall for my house. It is
now about 5 ft tall. I keep it on my porch in the summer and the
basement in winter. I'm not sure what to do with this plant when it
gets too tall to move around and too tall for my house.
Any sugesstions? I don't wnat to get rid of it.

Hi,
Araucaria heterophylla, aka Norfolk Island Pine can be air layered or even
grown from a terminal cutting. If successful you'd have two smaller ones, if
not one smaller one. It is a slow process and a basement in Boston probably
is not the spot to try it, wait till spring.
HTH -_- how
no NEWS is good
