Yes.You pick them up off the ground rather than stand under the tree waiting for them to fall.

I was wondering how long it would take them to grow?

Growth Rate: With average 800 mm plus rainfall seedling should be self-sufficient within 2 years. Growth rates vary significantly first 10 years. Some will be 4 metres, others 1.5 metres.

Trees begin to bear cones at about 14 years of age.

This might be an odd question, but what do you think of them as hedges? If someone pruned them back into shape?

Conifers aren’t really fond of hard cutting. You can try the experiment I guess. Plant seeds and keep tip pruning, as in bonsai.

My FiL was a forester and he banned the agistment of stock in his forests because he was after wood in long straight bits preferrably. The problem with stock grazing is that they tip pruned the trees. In the case of Callitris, this caused branching, which was undesirable in the production of lumber. However, it can and does cause hedging.

No worries. Keep reading. I’ll get there eventually.

There’s a saying about planting a tree that you’ll never get to sit in the shade of that I’ve made a lie of often. I’m still here and I do sit in the shade of thousands of trees I’ve planted. Can sit in the shade of millions more but I’d have to ask permission from those I sold the trees to.

I really need to learn the different microhabitats on this bit of land so I can put in the right native plants indigenous to this area.
