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.

They're easily available here from nurseries
at $50/50cmplant, and $90/100cm plant.
