Propagation
Take semi hardwood cuttings from summer to autumn, including a heel from the main branch. Remove a branchlet from the main stem by cutting or tearing; include a piece of stem bark. Strip lower leaves and wilting tips with a sharp knife then insert cuttings 25mm (1in) into the media place in cold frame. 

Sow seed when ripe during autumn in pots and place in a cold frame to germinate which may take up to 5 years.

General pruning information
This plant require little pruning as it maintains a compact habit. Prostrate species may be lightly trimmed to contain but avoid cutting back to old wood, as it will not regenerate. 

Botanic information
Leaf: The juvenile leaves are needle-like and arranged in groups of 3 and the adult scale leaves are 4-ranked and both adult and juvenile foliage is found on the same tree. They are bluish-green in colour ageing to green with a pungent odour.

Flower: The yellow brown male flowers are united into an oblong catkin-like cone that appears towards the tips of the adult branchlets and the globose female flowers have up to 8-valvate scales that contain 1 to 2 ovules and appear during spring on different trees (dioecious).

Fruit: The cones have 3 to 8 scales that are merged and are arranged on reflexed stalks occurring prolifically with 2 to 3 seeds. The small seeds are viable but the plant is commonly reproduced vegetatively.
