now you know I LOVE GARDENING, so I will expect a pic later when they have grown a bit bigger.
how deep did you plant them?
how far apart?
in sun or part sun or shade?
did you use regular top soil?
What did you think happened? That two trees got together overnight and got it on or something? :p I extracted some seeds from the cones, but you could plant cones, too. I just planted them in #1 pots filled with a mixture of potting soil and cactus soil, after germinating them between layers of a paper towel soaked in water and gibberellic acid in Ziploc bags. I'll be planting these in full sun next year in a corner in front of where several other conifers are already established.
I'll try and get some pics with the digital camera... at the moment four of them kinda' look like lil' palm trees... just a red stem with four greenish needles at the top.
