Propagation
Sow fresh seed when available in a well drained media and keep moist.

Take soft tip cutting from late spring to early summer.

Note:
Care should be taken when selecting a sight allowing ample room for it to grow as it has vigorous roots that can lift concrete and block drains.


Botanic information
Leaf: There are 20 to 30 pairs of soft textured linear leaves arranged on one plane. The mid vein on the upper surface is slightly grooved and the underside has faint glaucous lines of stomata. During autumn they turn yellows-red and the twigs that hold the leaves are shed.

Flower: The male flowers are very small and arranged in a raceme or panicle that is up to 300mm (1ft) long and not commonly seen and the female flowers are produced when the leaves first emerge and appear solitary during early spring.

Fruit: The stalked pendulous cones are round to ovoid with up to 28 scales. Each scale produces up to 8 winged seeds. The seeds are viable but the plant may be reproduced vegetatively.
