Has anyone tried to grow Wollemi pine from seed? My brother has been given 6 pods and has offered some to me. He is not gardener so is currently surfing the net to find out propagation tips.

Advice from you guys would be most appreciated

I have no direct advice for you but I figure if this tree has made it through thousands of years, it can’t be too hard to propagate.

Pines aren’t dufficult.

noticed the Wollemi Pine at Queen’s Garden has escaped its powdercoated cage. It was empty when I wandered past the other day.

Died or nicked? Either is possible I bet.

Evening all. I’ve finally taken possession of the Wollemi Pine seeds that sparked my original post to this thread. Going to sow them tomorrow and see what transpires :)
