Hi Grant,

Thank you for the info, you are luck to have more than one :) Luckily there are no cockatoo around in my area. I did also cut off its tip last winter, it nearly around 70 cm, but now another the branch has shot up.

I do hope that with times, the seeds will improve.

My father has a big white pine, I think it is a glauca, on its roots, in a one cubic meter plastic pot. It has been producing a lot of big seeds in the last few years. But they are all dud. I am planning to take it over and plant it next to my black pine this winter. I have been digging the hole already.

Hi shibui,

Thank you for the advice, I have been thinking about it too. I am going to cut two or three off this weekend.

Best regards.
