I have a Wollemi Pine and need to prune it
now & then.

Can someone advise how to propagate from the
cuttings?

Regards

Thought you needed a license to propagate them?
Are you having to prune it because its inside? otherwise why bother?


I didn't think any of the ones now being sold here or in Aus would be of a
size to prune yet, including the one pinched from Kew!


This very mysterious. I really don't think Peter should prune it at
all, and I don't understand the "need to prune it now and again". But
since he acquired it lawfully and there are so few in private hands, he
should go straight to the Royal Botanic Gardens for advice rather than
ask us to speculate -- they took a four-figure sum from him, after all.
I don't think licensing issues arise if there's no intention to sell
the youngsters, unless there's some special measure in force in Aus for
extreme cases like this.
