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. 

General pruning information
This plant requires 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 arranged in whorls of 3 and overlap each other. There is a stomatic band on the upper surface and the leaves on the lower branches brown off when over grown.

Flower: The male strobili are united into an oblong catkin-like cone and the female flowers are composed of up to 8-valvate scales that contain 1 to 2 ovules and are arranged on short lateral branch and appear during late spring. 

Fruit: The globose berry-like cones are produced in abundance. The small seeds are viable but the plant is commonly reproduced vegetatively.
